    Communism is “work as much as you can, use as much as you need.” Society must be technologically advanced to make this possible. Native American tribes were not technologically advanced.

      “work as much as you can, use as much as you need.”

      You don’t need technological advancement to be sustainable if your population remains relatively small and static. Hunter Gatherers actually follow pretty much exactly the formula you described above and ended up with far more leisure time than their agriculturally “advanced” counterparts.
