There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.

Communism fails every time it is tried because it goes against human nature of constantly comparing yourself to others and trying to improve yourself. You will never do harder work if you can get the same reward for easier work, and you will look for other, less moral ways of getting the bigger reward.

Communism sounds great but it will never work until we have unlimited resources and completely automated labour.

That's funny because I do easy work for a great paycheck yet we have a harder time hiring than in my previous job which didn't pay as well and was harder.

Can you say what are the jobs?

I'm in my mid thirties, my current job (first time for this employer) is the best paid and offers the best conditions and is the easiest one I've ever worked and they need to give us a retention bonus so people don't leave for another department.

I'll leave it at that so I don't dox myself.

Edit: Don't know why people are downvoting? It's an office job that requires a high-school diploma, I've worked physical jobs before that paid less and where we weren't short staffed as we are in my current job. Happy?
