As an American Capitalist, I don't need to be forced to cooperate with my family members like a good communist (i.e. at the point of a gun), because I love them. This concept, alien to the communists, is actually quite a driving force in the world, and doesn't involve the words "proletariat" or "Mother Russia."
A similar ideal applies to civic action, where a person feels an emotional love and belonging to his/her community at the local level. I take pride in my location, because it is where I was born and raised, and because there is much to love about it. We love what we have, because it is ours, and this forms a basis for many things, such as patriotism.
you are mistaking soviet style communism which is not communism but a totalitarian government
home life is perhaps as close as you can get to true communism not because of a paycheck bet because it is best for the family
communism may work for a small community but not for any larger grouping of people just as capitalism does not work well at the family level, in fact capitalism and communism do not work well for nations
a hybrid of socialism and capitalism perhaps works best, but it must be flexible and mutable
democracy does not work well either but a form of a democratic republic perhaps works best but only when large amounts of money do not control the government
i do not think we have evolved to a point where any form of government works, just some better than others, but only until said government becomes corrupted
maybe a constitutional monarchy where the king/queen selects the next monarch and cannot select a member of their own family
I pledge allegiance to the constitution of the United States of America as amended by the legislative and executive branches and interpreted by the Supreme Court
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
