The first THANKSGIVING: After the first two harvests in the colony of Plymouth turned out to be disasters because “all profits & benefits what are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means,” be shared equally (communism: “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”), Royal Governor William Bradford records a bountiful harvest due to allowing each family being assigned their own plot of land to farm as they saw fit and keeping the harvest for themselves.
Postscript: The following year Plymouth was exporting its surplus produce.
