More like Alaska ( do you regard Alaska as Nth America?) and northern
Canada.

Both AK and Canada are part of NA.

Much of the area is above the ArcticCircle.

And more of it isn't. Don't forget that the USSR wasn't just Russia. It
included most of eastern Europe.

Then you weren't living in a true commune.

LOL ! A favorite phrase of pro-communist economists is "it hasn't worked
yet only because the right people haven't been running it." Human nature
is as it is.

Weren't they searching for some kind of Utopia with high expectations
and little understanding of humanity?

Hmmm. That sounds familiar. I believe discussions of the Soviet Revolution
were punctuated with similar rhetoric. Yes, they were attempting a utopian
society. And I doubt if communist theory ever considers the reality of
humanity. As I said before, it only works on computer models, not with
people.
