I did not live under communism, but it seems to me that communism is a kind of decentralization, which failed in a number of countries because of the greed of people who used the naivety and faith of others.
I hope that decentralization on HIVE will not repeat the same story. So far, everything is going fine.
From what I see about communism, the exact opposite results. It is a system ripe for power grabs since the state is in the middle of everything. And communism depends upon centralized planning.
Of course, the greed factor is happening in non-communist countries also.

Hierarchy has demonstrated its failure.
The solution was published long ago.
It was suppressed by the 'popular' crowd.

Yeah communism is the opposite of decentralization.
All forms of government are.
They are all centralized.
The only difference is that communism pretends to be decentralized in theory.
Real decentralization happens when wealth is distributed more evenly/fairly.
That's all that matters.
You are right, I had in mind the theoretical foundations of the commune. When everything belongs to everyone and at the same time to nobody. Unfortunately, practice has shown that personal interests are not able to exist within the commune.
