A Communist believes that true equality CAN be possible and IS possible, with everyone sharing the work load, the food, their possessions, and everything. If life really worked that way, it would indeed be ‘Paradise’.

Maybe on a small-scale level, say on a Kibbutz, but other than that...

Yes! AND...on a Kibbutz, there is that element of something the Communist/socialist will NEVER acknowledge...FAITH. Without that ‘higher reason’ to work together for the benefit of all, it will ALWAYS devolve into the few ruling over the many.

In the early days of the Christian church, the Bible itself said the believers shared their possessions with each other. You do NOT read anything about one group or person “lording it over” another. They did it in worship to their Creator.

Something that is utter anathema to a Communist/socialist.
