Communism is an antiquaited, disproven political/economic system both morally and practically.

Since you are hell bent on making your fantasy (Communism - good) reality, I challenge you to debate the subject in FACT and in PRACTICE rather than in your fantasy world. In every instance where Communism was tried on a large scale it has failed miserably. The ONLY way for it to be successful is with a repressed populace that doesn't question it's 'leaders' and leadership willing to 'off' dissenters. This is why ALL Communist countries control and restrict access to free speech. Since Communism is SUPPOSED to benefit the people, indeed it's supposed to ONLY benefit the people, how do you explain EVERY instance of mass implementation? USSR, China, Cuba, N. Korea. ALL countries that did or do seriously REPRESS their people. Nobody in China or NK is going to see this debate. Why? Because their Governments do NOT want them to know what is going in in free countries. Communism ONLY works if the people aren't aware of FREE systems. Why Communism doesn't work - It goes against human nature. Whether you admit it or not, your main objective is YOU. Your secondary objective is your family. Your third objective is your friends. Finally, your last objective is people you don't know. It's fact and it's universal no matter what you believe politically or philosophically. This being FACT, Communism can NOT work among families. No matter how much you'd like it to be the case, I will NEVER care as much about my neighbors struggles as my own. I will NEVER be as concerned with societies problems the same as I do my own household. That is simply human nature. While there are communal systems that work/have worked quite well, they don't go anywhere near the level of Communism. I'm talking about Quakers, Mormons, Mennonites, etc. where religion is the driving force in their belief system. In those instances it ONLY works because it's 100% voluntary and there is a driving force beyond an economic ideology at work. Communism is much more political by design. It REQUIRES a central Government to enforce the system. There is no way around that simple truth. Where successful communal systems are 100% voluntary, Communism mandates participation. It is also secretive by nature. It has to be. Once the populace recognizes there is a better system out there, they would revolt. It is only the strong arm of a repressive Government that can keep the natives in check. You envision a world where everyone just follows YOUR ideology of the individual accepting working solely for the benefit of the whole. The problem is that kind of thinking results in an overall underachieving public without fail. People who achieve great things have personal motivations. They want money, recognition, power, etc. That their accomplishments might benefit the whole of humanity is a secondary benefit, not a driving force. No Doctor went through 15 years of schooling, apprenticeship, 15 hour days, etc. in order to benefit YOUR family. If you relegate his lifestyle to the same as a garbage collector, you won't have many doctors. You advocate a 'money-less' system. Nothing could possibly be more reclusive in an age where world trade is NECESSARY to the survival of any nation. Where exactly would this work? There is only ONE nation on earth capable of sustaining itself absent help from the outside world...that would be the USA, and only if they started drilling oil at a much higher pace. ALL other nations RELY on other nations for supply their needs. With no monetary system, YOUR nation wouldn't stand a chance. You MUST be able to purchase food, energy, technology, etc. from other nations. That isn't possible without a GDP based economy. You also advocate a leaderless system. That would be laughable if you weren't so serious about it. No central planning. No central Government. You advocate pure chaos. Under such an absurd system, everyone would be looking out for themselves in a 'system' where they are SUPPOSED to be looking out for each other. ALL humans are FAR more concerned with their own well being than they are society as a whole. Don't believe me? Who do you love most in the world? If you were given the choice of that person being brutally raped and murdered or a small town of people you don't know being hit by a tornado, which would you choose? 99.99% would root for a tornado. "It takes a village" might sound good, but ultimately we take care of our own FIRST. It's human nature. In your fantasy world, everyone is 'equal'. The problem with that is twofold. 1) Everyone doesn't DESERVE to be 'equal'. 2) 'Equal' only applies to what you get, not what you contribute. Why should a lazy non-producer receive 'equal' sustenance to a hard worker? Why should someone spend the hours and effort going to school to become a Doctor or engineer just so they can graduate to the same lifestyle as the guy who picks up his/her trash? With Communism there is no recognition of your achievements. Just a constant reminder that you are not an individual...You are just another face in the crowd no matter what you accomplish...or don't. That's great for the laziest among us. It breaks the spirit of the ambitious...you know, the very people who are actually making a POSITIVE contribution to society... USSR, China, Cuba, N. Korea. Please point to the favorable nation to be a citizen of in that group. Please point to ANY Communist nation past or present that you would want to raise a family in. If your objective is to help your fellow man, you can certainly do so without Government mandate. You advocate a 'classless' system. Again, if I can't 'get ahead' then why on earth would I use my abilities and work incredibly hare to benefit someone else who does not? I don't care if your net worth is $5 or $5million, It's YOURS and allows you to make decision to benefit your family. A Communist system means you are the mercy of the system not only in pay but in long term planning. ANY time Government is involved in your life, it's a BAD thing.
