This is just conservative propaganda

Was the US "invaded" in the midst of an ongoing revolution, by an overwhelming force intended to warp its very society? No. It threw off its already existing, but sorely outnumbered colonial authority. It wasn't an invasion. It was a revolution in itself. And the US had all the advantage in its war for independence, especially considering France helped them out.

Chile didn't have that. Argentina didn't.

And even with this caveat, Vietnam and Cuba still stand as examples of socialism not "falling apart the fiest time something goes wrong". They had overwhelming force against them and still succeeded. So that point doesn't even work.

So everyone decides who gets what and when

That makes it sound far more direct and personal. No, the community democratically decides how resources are distributed. And rules like "Dave can't have bananas" are too stupid to even consider in this.

What if you’re not really liked in your community

Why should that matter?

Personally I don’t really have faith in humanity in general

That's your own bias, and your own problem to deal with.

I'm just calling out that they seem to actually know who they are

something doesn’t go according to plan

That's a fucking weird way to put it. This isn't exactly falling at the first hurdle here.

Society isn't a game of Civilization. If "your system can't handle a military invasion while it's in the process of being built" is a major fail to you, realise that reality isn't about min maxing, and why the fuck are you taking outside invasion as a given? Why are you not condemning the US for invading them at their weakest point, the military equivalent of dropkicking an infant, and are instead deriding the invaded for not being able to put up a better fight?

Why are you asking me to repeat myself? And also, why do you have so little faith in democracy? Bourgeois democracy, sure, but actual democracy of the people, with no bureaucracy?

Someone polices the amount people can take.

Nah

the community polices the amount people can take.

If you set aside a class of "protectors", you're just asking for trouble.

No, it really doesn't.
