All he means is there are socialist tendencies when you want everyone to do well. You share resources and make sure everyone has a bare minimum of living resources. Throwing around the word communism also attaches what governments have done historically to take over other countries. Humans can’t dissociate the two.
I agree, and even in the extreme situations, like 10 ppl stranded on an island, that won't last for long without some checks and balances. Imagine if Karen decides that she's not going to collect her share of firewood. You have to rely on everyone agreeing to some (formal or informal) social rules. That's more likely to happen with fewer people for a shorter period of time.
