But communism doesn't work. All countries that implement communism have restrictions on free speech to hide the fact that it is a broken system.

The reason communism doesn't work is because people have no incentives to work. You can complain about the evils of the corporate empires but they at least have a motivation to improve even if that is sometimes at the expense of the people

Let me just jump in real quick and provide some info without supporting any side. You're referring to the authoritarian communism, and yes, none of it worked, and again yes, it's the only one that really happened in our history.

What you're missing is that the other person is referring to the lower left quadrant of the political compass, or libertarian socialist quadrant. And no, libertarian is referring here to the lack of or very week and non focused (with a lot of people in it) government.

For a great breakdown of the political compass I recommend Wendigoon's video on the topic. That's all I'm gonna say here, have a pleasant day and a good watch if you do decide to click on that link.
