That is at a 'state' level, there are still smaller level communist places to live. Like where the word 'Commune' comes from and what communism was derived from and attempted to expand into. There are communes all over the world. US included. There is a famous one in London, lots of large ones in Spain. They are communities that exist in their own bubble of micro economics within their larger communities of normal living. You should look it up. They are interesting and normally very appealing.

I mean, OP asked specifically why comments don't come from

people that never lived in a communist state

So I addressed the non-existence of communist states.

True, there can be smaller communist societies but I think OP was asking more on a USSR level scale and not 12 hippies living on a farm together.

Comminism, along Marxist lines, is meant to have a World Repunlic. It will have a government, but not a state.

Communes are more along Anarchist lines.
