You can. In fact, it already is so long as you
renounce the use of political power--government force--and seek only voluntary
consent from others. See my
answer to “Can you start a
purely communist society in the US?” The answer is yes, any time you want.
Think of the hippie communes in America, or the Israeli Kibbutz. They are
examples of voluntary communism. Americans have never had a problem with such
arrangements. It is the imposition of communism by force and violence on people
who don’t want it--Marxism--that will never be feasible (acceptable) in our
society. So, go ahead. Start your communism. Just leave government out of it.
Any other method is the method of a gangster.

Any sort of collectivism, under the confines of unalienable individual rights, by law backed by physical power, is ok. Under such confines, entry into a collective is not forced, but done by mutually voluntary process (I hold the explanation of that at bey, here), and exit happens at the desire of one or the other, or both, parties, with any civil details worked out, but it happens, by force, which is civil, not criminal: a member can leave at his will; the collective can expel him at its will. Period. The general form of corporation is a good example of such a collective. Read, In Defense of the Corporation, by Robert Hessen. If it had been done right, New Harmony, Indiana, might still be going great guns, today.
