Communism sucks

So I read about Communism in school yesterday, and I think it's the most retarded idea I've ever heard of. I go to work but then pay my dumb neighbour most of my money, because he's too stupid/lazy to work, wtf?!
I see a lot of people around here saying that communism/socialism isn't that bad. But how can you even be serious? It's just like being robbed every day.
Am I missing something, or is communism just the most retarded thing to ever grace the planet.

Wow, I didn't get to study communism until my GCSEs. You are a truly gifted pre-teen, DM.
But yes. I think communism is like terrorism, except you have to wear boiled wool and eat potatoes all the time. So it's pretty much retarded.

I'm not sure Bill Gates actually does any work anymore. He pays people to do it for him I think.

That's it. I've never donated money to any political candidate or party before, but if there was a way I could donate to an "anti-Ron Paul" fund, I would do it. I'm sick of all these stupid Paul threads and posts. Congrats Jay, you've succeeded in completely driving me away from Paul. I didn't like him on my own, only now, I can't stand him, on level with Hillary. If it takes money to defeat him, I'd gladly give it up. Please, Jay, just stop with this. You're annoying everyone, no one wants to hear it, no one cares, and if anything, you are changing minds... WE ALL HATE RON PAUL!

Communism as an idea wasn't that retarded. In the 19th some people in the West (like Marx and Engels) believed that human society is corrupted. That was the time when men were exploited (no working hours, children's work, families that couldn't feed all the children that were born; read Dickens). Marx and Engels believed that anger in working class (99% of the population; peasants + workers) will erupt and that all thing would change. To make world the better place working class needs to redistribute wealth to equal shares. That doesn't mean that some will work and some will get more, although they don't work at all. It mean that all things in this world belong to all man kind and that all of them need to be equally shared by all men. In communism human being and society must be in the center, but the fact is that progress and money came first (as in capitalism). The fact was that Marx and Engels believed that first proletarian revolutions will occur on the west where societies are more developed, people know how to read and write and people understand (and are familiar with) most of the learnings of Communism. Marx addressed his works to factory workers or mine workers and not to peasants. Marx and Engels were wrong: Proletarian revolutions were successful only in undeveloped countries (Russia, China) where small amount of population knew how to read and write and where small amount of people knew what ideas of communism were.
Long story short: Communism is a great idea, but in it's form it's pure utopia.

Most (if not all) forms of government are a great idea, but the human of corruption taints them and the rich/powerful win out over the working class/common man.
