Communism is the best economic choice for society.

Now before you start to judge me for being a Stalin follower hear me out. I think that communism has developed a bad name because the only times it has been implemented has been through evil, corrupt individuals who are only looking for power and use communism as a way to ramp the middle class up. I am actually in the center in terms of my political believes but this is an unpopular left opinion.

The idea of communism is great. I think that everyone should share and support each other in society. If someone is disabled or poor they should be supported and helped by the rest of the community. It often gets seen as everyone gets equal no matter whether you are a doctor or janitor but I think this is good. It helps and promotes people to do jobs they want to and like and not for the money. I know people who would still be a doctor even if they did not get more pay than others. If you want to be an artist than you can be and still be supported. I believe this is something that often gets lost because so much of great would be artists and art are put away by the fact that you cannot support yourself as a full time artist (unless you are super famous). Communism also promotes and increases social services to help those in need and promote equality. If everyone is equal there is no biases such as homophobia, sexism and racism.

I also believe capitalism corrupts people. It is a system that keeps corporations rich and does not help the poor. The more you own the more you get, but this does not help most of society which is what we should be doing. Capitalism increases greed, individuality and ultimately decreases our empathy towards others who are in need. We need to use communism instead of capitalism.

Thanks for reading!
