I hate it,simply due to that
Communism will at the end of the day be worse than what we have in this country currently,I mean...look at history.
Secondly, I think it's bullshit to pay a open heart surgeon,the same as a road side garbage picker.
Last of all, It's impossible for the government to manage every single aspect of a large economy.

There is a spectrum of political/economical systems that have been proposed with communism and capitalism being just two of them. I think it is a mistake to classify everything else under those two because this way you miss all the differences that make some of them better than others. The use of the word communism has a special timbre in the US (I take it you are american from the way you use the term 'liberal'). It has been used negatively for so long in this country (for the needs of the cold war) that it would be quite pointless for me to explain the good things about it (yes, there are some good things about communism).
Now. I see you are comparing communism with capitalism in the US and conclude that communism would only make things worse. But in the US you don't exactly practice capitalism. You have a combination of fascism, police state and corporatism. So basically, you already have half of the problems of (totalitarian( communism.
This post is not to convince you that communism is great. In fact I don't like it either. The point is to tell you that there is a world of political science out there and that there are possibly side of capitalism that you hate, as there are side of communism that you would like. In the end of the day, no political system has ever worked according to plan. There has never been a pure political system that was practiced as in theory. In other words, between black and white (commies and caps) there are infinite shades of gray. It is up to each society to choose which shade of gray suits them best.
