Aside from the deliberate efforts by the west to destabilize any socialist or communist movements, staged coups to overthrow democratically elected leaders, and rampant pro capitalist/anti communist propaganda, a much better large scale similarity would be to the wildly successful open source movement where the product/service is free to use (moneyless), contribute to (classless), and owned in commons (by and for the proletariat).

There is no need to smear communistic movements. They manage so well on their own.

I do agree that web 1.0 and the 1960-80 computer science field was a great example of classless movements. But they didn't come from communistic societies.
