Barracks Communism has never been tried.
Lets try to make a canon for it, all of the original texts attributed to what Barracks Communism was, pile them up and just follow them dogmatically.
Lets do this.
Barracks communism (German: Kasernenkommunismus)[1] is the term coined by the German philosopher Karl Marx[2] to refer to a crude, authoritarian, forced collectivism and communism where all aspects of life are bureaucratically regimented and communal. Marx used the expression to criticise the vision of Sergey Nechayev outlined in "The Fundamentals of the Future Social System".[2][3][4] The term barracks here does not refer to military barracks, but to the workers' barracks-type primitive dormitories in which the industrial workers lived in many places in the Russian Empire of the time.[5]
In the ideology of the Soviet Union the term was applied to theories of "some ideologues in China" of the 1950s-1970s.[6] During the Soviet perestroika period, the term was used to apply to the history of the Soviet Union itself.[5]
Origin
A relevant section of Sergey Nechayev's "The Fundamentals of the Future Social System" reads as follows:
The ending of the existing social order and the renewal of life with the aid of the new principles can be accomplished only by concentrating all the means of social existence in the hands of our committee, and the proclamation of compulsory physical labour for everyone.
The committee, as soon as the present institutions have been overthrown, proclaims that everything is common property, orders the setting up of workers' societies (artels) and at the same time publishes statistical tables compiled by the people who know and pointing out what branches of labour are most needed in a certain locality and what branches may run into difficulties there.
