I would say that IN THEORY, Communism would be the pure Utopian government, similar in form to what is described in the Star Trek series and movies. Everybody equal, everybody works for their own and the worlds betterment. No war, strife, no problem. A perfect fantasy. But, in reality, it is and always will be a fantasy. Because of human nature and the inherent emotions that go along with it, such as greed, it never has and will never be achieved. Greed, sometimes a bad stressor, is most often the driving force behind one bettering himself. “I want XXX, therefore, I must work harder to achieve XXX” Make everyone equal, give them egual pay/benifits, then there would be no driving force to better ones self. The grand experiment has been tried many times in the past and failed each time. Just ask your professor this. How many Doctors do you know, who preform their job for humanity, would do so if they were only paid 50K a year (all expenses paid, of course)?
