"The problem is society in general. People want to see movies with specific actors. People want to listen to specific musicians, not bands that are just like them."
And why do you think they want to see these actors and listen to this music in particular, who gave them the idea? Who controls what they get mostly exposed to? Who?
"There does not exist a human organization in which everyone is equal (though some groups try to pretend)."
This statement is false.
I (for one) am a member of such and organisition. All members of it are equals. To ensure equality all that has to be done is keep the organisation small enough. This organisation is a religion, it's called Iism. I am the only member.
"You don't seem to be familiar with communism. And spare us the stories of how the abusive communist regimes aren't real communism, tell it to the chinese peasants."
China is as communists as the USA is capitalist, not much. Communism an capitalism are ideologies , in the real world those in power just care about keeping the power they have, they are pragmatist. They use words like communism and capatalism in their propangada to keep the poors, the starving the peasents, the working people divided. This way a very small percentage of the world population is controling the fate of the majority and reaping the reward of their work. Not much has changed since the day of peasentry, it's just that in some part of the world peasents (working people) are a bit more comfortable. This is only because information started to move more freely and the people could unite more effectively, so the "elite" had to make some concessions to prevent and all out world wide revolution (almost happened just after WWII in Europe). So now they (the "elite") are working harder at controling information and spreading their propaganda. Thing have improved a bit but we are very far from being free and equals (even in the holy United Sates of freedom police,of the saviors the world, of the land of equal opportuniy of America).

The internet depends on my work.

"The most obvious reason that China has discarded communism (though not totalitarianism) is because communism wasn't working."
China has never been Communist. Yes it's a totalitarist state, that's the part that does not work in the long run.

Hape that helps.
