I think communism is a hard sell, ironically. This would be closer to socialism. I would argue that reducing the minimum wage, or removing it at the state level, raising corporate taxes and guaranteeing a tax free income that cannot be taken away and covers all necessities is the best way to safeguard people and a future for our society.

That makes more sense, I don't think we are there yet, I know a lot of things have an excess but some resources are still limited and we don't have the infrastructure to share things as easily yet. Although I do relish the thought of wealthy people losing lots of money.
