Features: "When it comes to grain, the food produced by the commune isn’t enough for everyone to eat. Regarding pork, the average annual consumption per person is 200 years, which is still too much to finish. By next year, each person will have 24 pounds of vegetable oil, 30 pounds of sugar, 100 yards of cloth, and one pound of fruit per day. The commune also made a plan to build dormitories for members, office buildings for the management committee, a club, schools, kindergartens, and cinemas, turning the commune into a big garden." "Everyone enters the new paradise, where food, clothing, and daily necessities are free: chicken, duck, fish, and meat are delicious, and you can eat four large plates every meal; you can enjoy fruits every day, and there are endless varieties of farm clothing; everyone says paradise is good, but paradise is not as good as the new paradise." "Proposing a transition to communism in four years—there is too much Marxism; don’t rush to achieve it in just four years."

Without patience, it’s not possible."
