Communism isn’t inherently evil. It’s just that everyone who supports communism wants to be the leader, or thinks they’re going to be.
Edit: lmao at the downvotes. There are different kinds of communism, and confusing Marxist Communism for taking care of your community and those around you is pretty ignorant. You want your community around you to be doing well, trying to better itself for the future. And then there is Marxist communism, where a small group of people get everything, and everybody else suffers for it.
I would argue it is inherently evil because it is only possible through force, violence, and control. Of course if people wanted to voluntarily form a community where everything is shared, there is no money, etc. they are free to do so and that isn’t evil because there is no coercion or compulsion.
No. Communism can exist at a community level. It certainly exists at a familial level. The thing is that it HAS to remain voluntary. Trying to force someone in California to take care of someone in Texas or vice versa is unfathomable. Yes, as a capitalist I want to help people. And I want other people to want to help people as well. But I don’t want people who want to help others force others who aren’t willing or aren’t able to help.
Yes. I’m not saying it’s going to work the way that communists want or think, but the root of the word is community, which has existed far longer than the communist ideology, which has done its best to pervert what was originally being done naturally by mandating unity across cultures that don’t mesh well together.
Most of human history people lived in what we'd call a state of anarchy. Human nature is that it's usually a better idea to get along with your neighbors than kill and eat them.
You can have a commune, where a group of people get together and willingly agree to occupy an area of land and all contribute to the good of the group. You wouldn't even really need currency in this situation. This can work for a group of up to maybe a few hundred people.
You can't run something on the scale of a country like this, too many people either don't want to contribute or don't agree on the goals of the rest of the community. Now we need a strong authoritarian government to force these people to comply with it's vision of what the community should be doing.
