Nevada bill would allow tech companies to create governments:
Planned legislation to establish new business areas in Nevada would allow technology companies to effectively form separate local governments.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak announced a plan to launch so-called Innovation Zones in Nevada to jumpstart the state's economy by attracting technology firms, Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday.
The zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form governments carrying the same authority as counties, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and courts and provide government services.
The measure to further economic development with the "alternative form of local government" has not yet been introduced in the Legislature.
[...] The governor's economic development office did not respond to questions about the zones Wednesday.

She should weigh in, but I wager it is because capitalism is supposed to allow individual economic leeway that generally is not possible under communism. Of course that fails in the later stages of caputalism once the pyramids have gotten large enough and the average person struggles to just get by. Like right now in most western capitalist countries. Even the better ones with social safety nets like education and healthcare survival is still an unnecessarily difficult struggle because some greedy fucks want to sit on their piles of gold.

The problems of communism are more complicated than suggested by your simple (simplified/simplistic?) answer. But I digress.
I raised the narrower question of "What the heck the Dunbar's number has to do with communism?" for the benefit of Azuma, she's quite prone in this case to stuck with a non-answer and stop asking relevant questions on what makes communism hard or impossible.
It is a lot better if she ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ than it is to think that she's got it and nothing else needs to be said.
