Why exactly does communism go against human nature and always fail?
Why exactly does communism go against human nature and always fail?
I theorize that human thinking comprises two things: habit and reason.
In habit, the individual makes decisions in the service of the self. It is driven by a process called operant conditioning.
Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that employs rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence (whether negative or positive) for that behavior.

ANSWER: Communism attempts to circumvent habit and operant conditioning:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” (German: Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen) is a slogan popularised by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Programme.
Whereas human behavior is to go in the direction of gain or avoid the direction of pain.
