Communism is not the same as socialism. Communism is collective ownership with no state, while socialism is state ownership supposedly on behalf of the collective. Socialism is a hack used to approximate communism because real communism is an entirely incoherent idea. That's why most examples of supposed communism are actually socialism.
Communism means collective ownership, and ownership defines who has the exclusive right to control how a scarce resource is used. Everyone can't exclusively use the same scarce resources. That's what "scarcity" and "exclusivity" mean. Because of this, claims of collective ownership require the creation of a single entity trusted to speak on behalf of the collective. This is typically the socialist state.
Communism could only appear to function if the collective were entirely homogeneous and all its members shared the same preferences such that there was no conflict between them. Given such an absence of conflict, it would not matter who was recognized as owning anything so communism would offer no benefit over alternatives.
you cannot share the same preferences if you value things you need. If you value things you need, you value the people who have better skills than you to make them. You support them more than people who have skills useless to you. you vote with a piece of your time/life/wealth/capital. If you are free to value things, you value people differently. You still treat people equally, but not as if people were equal. The differences make us beautiful. This is what humanity is about; the subjective experience of reality. There is not 2 identical experiences. Forcing it on people is against all human knowledge.
So... I choose the voluntary hierarchy, because I recognize some people are better at some things than I am. You must be an arrogant, ignorant, useless, entitled, spoiled "victim" to even think communism is moral. Then if you want to live in a communist commune, do it! Take your comrades, take your wealth and share it equally... until you will need money to trade your produce with other communities, based on voluntary association... you will become a capitalist. Or just be tribal, grow potatoes... so no one ever has to be exposed to genocidal ideology again... and extinct in your community... while slaughtering each other, as the nature shows... evolutionary impulse pushes our awareness to new discoveries. If you are stuck on theft as being moral... you will extinct to make room for civilization. Rabid ape circus is obsolete.

Once rule by force is off the table, it wont really matter what we call things, we will be free from coercion to conform.

Rule by force is indeed the disease. Yet I have not seen any comment of yours that proceeds to detail how that disease might be cured. Regardless of the rhetoric behind any system of governance imposed on people, force inevitably creates oppression.
Do you have any thoughts on how force might become obsolete?

The same way other bullies learn, you punch them in the nose until they get with the program.
Anybody using force to control another should find swift, and sure, punishment.
They would now, but John Wayne is dead, and we are all pussified by having cops to call instead of relying on ourselves to solve our problems ourselves.

Ah. Well, I am working on a means of actually preventing rule by force that doesn't rely on the Duke, or cops. I wondered if you had some ideas that didn't involve bloodshed, because I'd like to have more options.
My plan is not fast enough for me, but I'll take what I can get.

Its not going to be easy to free yourself from someone that will kill you to maintain control of you.
Maybe this will help.
