Do we have a historical model of communism? Communist Dictatorship feels too far removed from the ideal to work.
In UK history some monasteries probably get close to being communist communities, but they're very small scale.

I am not aware of a successful "communism" that scales above the Dunbar number, and while I can point at ones that are arguably successful at sizes below that number there are even more that have failed even below that number.
[1]: People who post to the internet about how wonderful Communism are generally posting about how wonderful it would be to have a government who would target them for death pretty early on, as they are the "talkative ones" who would be watched. Same, incidentally, for the people who actively riot in favor of giving the government lots more powers to, oh, say, take "care" of people passionate enough to riot in favor of overthrowing the government, which is really appealing right up to the point that you are the government.
If they're "staying more equal" then surely that shows you didn't have a communist state.
IMO the transition is nearly impossible because you need those in power to want benevolence and humanitarianism more than power and wealth.

Please do?
Of course, once we have true AI, human history is also over.
