A communist utopia is an imaginary (so far) society that has no leadership, currency, private ownership, laws or need for any of these things. Ownership of everything is communal, to be used individually as needed. The members produce what is needed for the group and are rewarded by general esteem and respect. Dispute is settled by consensus, rules are consensual, and the disabled or unable are cared for by the surplus product of the community.

The tribes of the San in southern Africa were probably the closest to this ideal. the tribes were small and members were related. Their system of communal ownership has broken down with the influx of foreign goods and influence. Much as was depicted in the film "The Gods Must be Crazy"

Many American and circum-Arctic groups had aspects of communism, but only vestiges remain.
