Communism

Communism is a political idea. There are basically two types of communism: theory and reality. Theory is exactly what it sounds like. It is the theory of how communism was supposed to work. Here are some key components of it: The underclass (Proletariat) will overthrow the upper class (bourgeoisie) because the underclass supposedly gets exploited by the upper class, equal distribution of wealth, eventually no need for government, a Utopia, closed society. Things never worked out as planned. So the theory always turned into reality: Totalitarian state (Dictator), closed society, strong censorship etc. The thing is that it is against human nature for reality to work. People are usually greedy, selfish etc. so in theory when the lower class overthrow the upper class, why would the lower class want to give up this power? 

 I don't believe in this philosophy. I don't believe this because of the how equal it is. I don't like that people who own their own business and make a lot of money should have to give it up. Some people don't work at all and in places that have communism as a government people have the same wealth and everything. I just don't like it. For example if I were to become a doctor in a place like America that has democracy then I would work even harder because I would get fairly payed for my work, but in a place with communism I would be extremely annoyed and I wouldn't want to work as hard. (But if I would if someone needed my help but mentally I wouldn't want to) I wouldn't want to, because I would make the same amount of money as someone who works as a factory worker. Not saying that factory workers don't work as hard, but they don't have med school bills to pay and on and on. I just think if people work hard for their money, then they shouldn't get it taken away from them.
