Can you name a single successful collective farm?

Usually their inefficiency and failure is propped up by taxpayer money. The more of the country that is communally owned, the more communist it is, and the more failure, until there isn't enough taxpayer money to subsidize it and the country fails.

In your reading of Jamestown, what's your explanation of why they abandoned collective farming after the first year? And the Pilgrims did the same?

Collective farming is communism.
