Communism and socialism is basically just a fancy term used by the Left to euphemistically describe stealing. Am I wrong on this? I mean, it's not black and white, there is wealth redistribution under any functioning society. We pay taxes which are used to pay for things that our society (in theory) needs. But under communism, that has become theft. Taking shit from people who have worked for it and giving it to people who were too fucking unoriginal to invent anything from their selves is just government endorsed theft.
Do my thoughts make sense?

Communism is intellectual rebranding of slavery and serfdom as liberating.

tell that to every government that has ever masqueraded under the banner of communism or socialism.
There's a difference between saying and doing. I'm mostly concerned with doing.

Then explain what your definition of communism is, my tipped over French friend.

>Communism is great in princible
I disagree. Private property and voluntary exchange are far superior, both in theory and practice. I am not even against the idea of sharing within your community, but communists want the benefits of community without having to provide value to their fellows or relying on their charity first.

That's exactly what it equals!
I'm not even a full on libertarian, I like small government, but I recognize its necessity. Communism is literally the government handling every aspect of your life for you, that is what it is by definition, I don't care what your view of it is. The first definition you get when you Google it is this:
>"A theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs."
That is exactly what communism is, you work as hard as you can so that you can receive the same as everyone else. That is pretty much theft and slavery, I don't see how you could read that differently.

This. I mean, it appeals to somebody who is still in school maybe? I mean, you learn sharing is caring and it sounds great, but as soon as you get an actual job, anyone with a brain cell can see that Communism is a bad idea.
