        I thought there was genuinely a thing with pigeons sharing things equally

          Communism isn’t about sharing equally, but fulfilling everyone’s needs off of everyone’s abilities.

          Tools are owned in common, but distribution is based on needs.

                But if, for the sake of arguments, pigeons were humans, does that mean they are commie scumbags?

          There are two types of community animals. That is, animals that live with others of their own species for the majority of their life.

          One type generally shares everything, all members work to collect resources, and those resources are shared with all members. There’s no concept of ownership. You find this in a lot of birds, ants are a good example, some species of great ape to an extent.

          The other type is the opposite. Not all members gather, and some members seem to believe they own resources as they’re brought in. Lions are a great example, where not only do the men not actively participate in hunting, but they aggressively defend kills and take the largest portions for themselves. And then also another species of great ape that has gone as far as to invent currency just to let a handful of apes control most of it.
