There is a really simple reason that Communism doesn't work. You have a whole lot of people with different skills and some are better or worse than others. Simply put, the more skilled get screwed. Sure communism pays your way through school if its decided you are to be a doctor but you also have to work MUCH harder than most everyone else. This guy gets really pissed off when the phone booth cleaner down the street is doing just as well as he is. Communism gives no incentive to do as well as you should. After all, why try hard when you'll be just as well off if you do nothing. Think about it.....
