In all fairness, no one actually teaches what communism is because then everyone would be a communist.

Communism depends on the people on top not being greedy fucks who will just keep the power instead of distributing it. Humans aren't like that. We're greedy for power and we won't share it from the top down.

Socialism is much better as it works within the confines of the established system and just wants to alter it. Communism work on paper but humans are the part of the plan that doesn't work. By the way I say this as a survivor of a murderous, Communist regime.

Correct, which is why communism is a bottom up system.

Sorry you've been propagandized to believe otherwise.

I was raised under a communist regime, so it's not propaganda but reality that showed me humans make communism impossible.
