What communism means

Ask an average person (an American) what communism is and they'll say "it's something that's evil where the government tells you what to do". Isn't that happening right now?

You first.

Ideal in what way? What happens if the job I happen to have the highest aptitude in is also one that I would despise doing?

Probably, the 'ideal' society is one in which the author is part of the ruling party/class and doesn't have to abide by the destructive rules that are set up for the general populace.

That doesn't take into account the value people assign to certain jobs. People themselves are the best calculators of this, the government is not omnipotent and thus should not make decisions where a superior method exists.

my ideal society would be one where the gov pays me money while i sit on my fat ass and surf the internet, play xbox, and fap all day long.

oh, looks like i'm already living in my ideal society lol.

i win!!!

You worthless piece of shit.

That would own. Finally people who are actually qualified are doing jobs.

Many would not be motivated. Efficiency would be very low despite their skills. Effectiveness doesn't depend solely on skill. Look at entrepeneurs, look at anyone who has achieved the american dream, they achieved it through strength of personal character and perseverance and they deserve their money more than people who "would" have done a better job.

Communism is liek cosplayers Hu r like wanaB C&C IRL but needta l2realitys

Communism is state control of the means of production.

There's a monopoly on the means of production. If everyone had access to it, truly if would be "talent equals wealth". But it isn't.

The idea, and yes it is stupid, is that the state and the people are one and the same.

Communism can only work when greed is eradicated from human nature.
