Abstract: In this paper we conclusively prove that communism can never work.
1. Introduction: Commuism seems great in theory, but it has yet to be achieved.
2. Communism is based on false premises
We disprove communis,
Theorem 1. Communism is good in theory, but human nature means commnism can never work.
Proof. We provide outline of the proof. Human nature is fixed, immutable, and selfish. For full proof see [1].

As more societies approach planetary boundaries like Iran's destabilizing water crisis, responses that once seemed drastic or utopian will begin to look like common sense. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/26/world/if-communism-is-the-only-option/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #iran #communism #rain #water #agriculture

Today in Labor History December 23, 1933: Dutch construction worker and council communist Marinus van der Lubbe was sentenced to death for burning down the Reichstag. In prison, he launched a hunger strike against prison conditions, but was forcibly fed. The Nazis beheaded him on January 10, 1934 by guillotine. In 2008, the German government posthumously pardoned him. Van der Lubbe claimed to have set the fire in order to inspire the German working-class to rise up against fascism. He also claimed to have acted alone. However, the Nazis tried to make it into a communist conspiracy and arrested several other communists, who were ultimately acquitted of involvement in the fire. Many on the left, including the Comintern, or Third International (1919-1943), falsely claimed he was a Nazi agent and provocateur, or that it was a Nazi-run false flag operation. Lenin, whom founded the Comintern, hated the Council (Left-wing) Communists and lambasted them in his 1920 screed: "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder.”
