It's the other way round. Individualism prevents communism

Downvoters, do you think all that bad urban planning is incompetence of the specialists

No, they're just narrowly constrained as to what they can do eg. They cant knock back a Cosc-Co because there's no train station so, you end up with a sprawling shit hole as de facto
