A lot of people say that 'communism works in theory, but not in practice' but I would say it is very flawed in both. As human beings, we need the ability to achieve and to be rewarded for it. A total redistribution of wealth eradicates the mechanism of exchange by which merit is sanctioned and supported. I cannot understand why anyone would desire this even in a theoretical sense. Achieving things brings a lot of satisfaction and meaning to my life.
Saying you are a communist now is like declaring that you are a Scientologist. Funny to think that 50 years ago this absurd belief system was actually a threat to our way of life.
