Organic communism, perhaps.

Marx's philosophical communist transformation in which capitalism actually alters brain chemistry...never seen it.

Though it would be kind of tough considering capitalist societies have been exceedingly rare and unable to achieve the influence that Marx believed they had on the world.

But then again he was good ol' Karl Marx meaning he was generally wrong on 99% of what he stated.

Marx wasn’t the only communist, and I disagree with him on his labor value theory.

The North Sentinel island has no money, free distribution of goods, and people produce based on their own abilities.

Communism existed nowhere. USSR had socialism. But western propagandists misinterpreted it as communism. Whatever people call China's political system, China is not a communist country too.

As I understood we are not talking about isolated tribes. But there was not a state with the real communistic political system.

You know what was stupid? The amount of blood spilled and money spent fighting against an ideal like Communism. What other people choose to live under doesn't phase me all other things as equal as they can be.

Do you want to know what is even dumber? How we continue to spend ourselves into debt like we have all these enemies knocking on our door with guns and tanks at the border.

Fine.

Though the Zapatistas are almost communists (and they’re not an isolated tribe, they’re practically an autonomous state).

They are kicking themselves in Venezuela and N. Korea over it that is for sure.
