I'm sure any people that didn't have a written history would seem nice too.

Also you don't sound like you've read Marx. You would know the difference between primitive communism and scientific.

That wasn't communism. It was, in a broad sense, a form of socialism, but using that term has a lot of associations that don't apply to the Incas.

I guess a more informative description would be 'theocratic stratified socialism." There were distinct castes in the Inca empire, with the Inca nobility and priests at the top and peasants at the bottom. If there was a drought in a region, the empire would distribute food from their meticulously-kept storehouses, but in return peasants would be conscripted to perform compulsory labor under threat of death (a similar system of compulsory labor was used in Egypt.) There was a state religion (though the Incas did not attempt to completely eradicate the religion of the Chimu kingdom), with the Sapa Inca as the god-king. There was definitely inequality, though since there was no money, the nobles were less concerned with hoarding ridiculous excess of material goods like Italian merchants or Ottoman sultans. Still there was a power imbalance between the classes.

So all in all, it would be a very foreign system to modern communists or socialists, and most would probably find it objectionable. But it DID work, which puts it ahead of modern communism.

Peru today is not the Inca Empire. At their time, the Inca Empire was largest empire in the world. Not even Ming China or Songhai could compete.
