I think Communism is a 19th century pseudoscience idea like phrenology. There’s no evidence these things are real but phrenology was easy to discount while many people still choose to believe in Communism despite lack of evidence of it working long term.

A correction: most humans. There are a few who like communism. Why not them live their lives as they want? Communities like the Longo Maï are a living proof this is absolutely possible on a tiny scale when a willing subset is involved.

Because those people then starting to kill all the problematic people, as we saw in Soviet and China. They put all the blame on these "bad people" and sent them to the gulag.
You can't ever let people with this kind of thinking into power.

At that tiny scale they depend on the surrounding capitalist people and therefore it makes sense they also abide by the laws of the country.
Anyway next time you experiment with utopias, try not to bring along hundreds of millions of unwilling participants.
