I find it strange that there's this infatuation with Communism in the majority my peers… Most of them have no political stances on anything other than the legalization of marijuana, and that (because it's Texas) gay marriage shouldn't be legalized (which… I don't really understand why they care so much). I feel as though people have this idea of something political that sounds perfect to them, so they roll with it.
Communism, pure communism, isn't perfect.
No pure economic systems can thrive in the long term… They don't adapt correctly, or quickly enough. That being said, what you listed isn't pure communism to begin with. The "whoever works most gets the most luxuries" thing is a slap in the face to pure communism, actually.
One of the things that makes communism appealing to me is the lack of classes. No bourgeois, just us proletariat citizens. In this CLASSLESS society, nobody would recieve any more than another, regardless of work done (ie If John builds three houses, and David builds one, they're going to receive the same amount). Otherwise, you'll be making classes. Giving certain people luxuries, while keeping some from others… That's a Have and Have-Not system, also known as exactly what Karl Marx wanted to bring about the end of.
That's all I had to say on that… Now then, my views on politics are simple… I got with the radio host approach:
Everyone else is wrong because I'm right. End of story.
