As per Guest below, extending the line of thought ... even in a "commune", the more keen and active Producers will STILL eventually get pissed off with the apathetic and lazy Consumers, and the "commune" will disintegrate.
I love my family, I don’t mind providing for them. I work 90 hours/week, my wife works 35 hours/week, my children are lazy toddlers and are not employed.
We pool our resources and everyone gets what they need plus a few wants; I reward myself with firearms, tattoos, motorcycles, wants that cost tens of thousands. My wife takes care of her own wants but I give her luxury things and experiences, thousands annually. My children’s wants are covered by a few hundred maybe a couple thousand dollars.
Even in this scenario, where I love the people who I commune with, if we split evenly our resources and my toddler received $30,000 for wants while I spent my time continuing to earn eventually I would stop working so hard and my toddler would never grow up without any incentive to.
Communism doesn’t even work in a family setting where you love and want to support everyone let alone relying on the generosity of strangers in a ruling class thousands of miles away.
Sweden is not a communist country
It's not even fully socialist
It is primarily capitalist with a few socialist policies, a premise which actually has some level of success in a relatively culturally homogenous state such as Sweden
Although there are some schools of thought that believe it will not be as successful in the next couple of decades

Perhaps, but again, it's still on Other People's Money (their "allowance").
