Communism sounds great but it assumes that the people who rise to the top and run the government are going to share the wealth.
You just described capitalism.
The idea with communism is that
- there is no "top" to rise to
- there is no "government" that we would recognize as such from our reference frame
which would make this impossible to happen.
That's the Sandy Petersen of DOOM fame. Wicked.
Doesn't that... prove the point?
Meaning, even among the Democrat party, there was little will to adopt the standards the rest of the western world enjoys. If actual public healthcare was a majority position among the party, the party wouldn't have had to compromise with itself.
