Answer
The benefits the author mentions about communism include free medical care, unemployment protection, social insurance for the elderly and disabled, and childcare services like nurseries and kindergartens for working mothers.The downfall of a communist society can include lack of incentives for innovation and productivity, inefficiency due to centralized planning, suppression of individual freedoms and creativity, potential for corruption and abuse of power by the ruling elite, and economic stagnation or collapse due to misallocation of resources.
