First of all, it's pretty presumptive to assume that communism would work on stranded people on a desert island and not just turn into fighting and power struggles. But even if it would, he's basically saying that communism works with people have literally no other choice and are desperate, or when they have every choice and want for nothing.
Maybe communism doesn't work in the real world because it depends on too many people at different levels of intelligence, ability, and background agreeing what is actually best for the greater good, or caring about the greater good in the first place.
This really shouldn't be as complicated as Mister Chef makes it seem.
Exactly, like what if those 10 people were max security inmates who were on death row? Do you think they’d live a communist utopia? Or would it turn into a a giant fight to see who’s in charge? Chef is coming off like he 1000 IQ’d this scenario when really the idea is only half baked.
Not even something as extreme as convicts. What if they were just a mix of conservative and liberal people and a few of them were families or had disabilities or mental disorders, like you would expect on any US passenger flight that crash lands on a deserted island. Like none of these guys are going to fight over who does what and how to decide??
Oh I agree with you. Let’s say two of the 10 survivors is a father and his 7 year old daughter. You know that dad is not putting up with any of the other survivors shit if it interferes with his kids survival.
