You obviously don't know what communism even is, how the hell do you expect to argue against it?
I am really sorry to break it to you, but a society where pure communism exists has never existed. That is because pure communism, like pure capitalism, is
impossible because such extremes are
contrary to human nature and thus unattainable by our species in its current mental form. There has NEVER been a purely communist nation. NEVER.
Socialism IS NOT communism. The two terms ARE NOT interchangeable. They're as different as pure capitalist and mixed-market economies. STOP CONFUSING THEM.
I'll admit that to live in a purely communist society would be cool. But since it is impossible, I would never want us to even try to get there. Every time a nation has tried to be communist it fails less than halfway toward its goal because communism doesn't work when someone is in charge. A real communist nation would have no government.
