Its also because people aren’t not flawless, socialism/communism need almost everyone to be good people to succeed, both the leaders and the followers.
My dad told me the people in factories (in China) would just slack off when the supervisors aren’t looking.
The people in his factory said: 做也三十六，不做也三十六
“Work and you get paid ¥36, Don’t work and you also get paid ¥36” (Currency in Yuan/Renminbi, pay is paid monthly, but this is a long time ago so its probably equivalent to like ¥2000 or more these days)
I don’t think a utopia will work if this is what people do. People are selfish, from the leaders, to the workers, everyone.
Villages over-report their productions, then they have feasts to celebrate because they think there’s a surplus.
Both external and internal struggles caused communism to fail
