Hi there folks,

While trying to learn about communism, I’m having problems finding literature that provides and example life under Communism. What I do find is propaganda either against or for it, involving unrealistic and bombastic content that is clearly not rooted in reality.

I’m not looking for historical content because I’m just trying to figure out what a life that the group is striving for would be like.

Thanks for your time!

      I would recommend the book Everything for everyone (https://www.commonnotions.org/everything-for-everyone) which is a fictional account of a near future communist New York.

      I would also recommend to not try to seek out an unbiased account of communism, which does not exist. There are a lot of assumptions that go into it and will be of course influenced by the authors biases.

        I bought it and will start on it today. That seems a fantastic read.

        I understand what you mean by unbiased being unrealistic. I should have just said non-propagandized.
