Communism is a classless society in which private ownership has been abolished and the means of production and subsistence belong to the community. Communism is a society where each one works according to his abilities and gets according to his needs. Today we work hard just to survive and we can barely do that. Many people work multiple jobs to do just that, while others whose work is regarded as important contribute little to the whole. When we think of disease prevention we only give credit to the doctors, what of the garbage workers and waste disposal units? Without the later would we not have streets filled with rotting food, sewers overflowing with feces and waste? The doctor would then be of little use as everyone would be sick and dying at higher rates than even now. However a doctor is paid even more than these unsung heroes. Why? One commonly given answer is that the doctor paid a lot of money for school and spent a lot of time to get when they are. There is that thing hinders us all, money. What if the doctor did not need to pay money to get where they are? Someone would say no one would want to do such a job without payment. Surely this is not emotionally true, someone has to desire the knowledge and satisfaction the job brings. Though in a communistic society, without currency, being a doctor, doing what you are capable of doing guarantees you all your needs. Home, food, and the same luxuries as everyone else, so long as you put into the society it will give back. When you break it down to the essential variables that affect everyone, no one is more or less important than another. This does not lead to a loss of individuality that is built as you grow. Without currency education is free for as long as you seek it and give labor into society. All the people who would not be able to afford an education and reach their full potential in the current world society could reach the stars. Some think in a communistic society everyone would be in cookie cutter houses. This would be untrue housing would be based on needs. There are many routed for these needs, one person merely needs a studio apartment or single bedroom, and I am sure the math is easy to follow from there. There are homeless that wish to work to obtain housing, in a communist society the employer is not bound by a status quo and can hire without limit. In this economic world all things are centered on the almighty dollar, but in a communist society the center is the people. Sure production will change within a company from one thing to another to keep up with the demand, but nobody would be without. Children would not need to work and the age 18 could be a possibility to start putting into the whole. Since everyone would be working somewhere the overall quality of life would be improved. This is however something that could only be acquired if done worldwide. There are materials only certain regions have and others need everyone works together giving without currency exchanged and receiving what they need in return. Everyone and everything is of equal importance, there is no pound per pound exchange no bartering. Everyone benefits when everyone works whether it be as a doctor, teacher, driver, stocker, manager or anything else. People can do the jobs they desire and while contributing to society want nothing it’s all provided. Some think luxuries like televisions and games would not count to the need mentioned, and they don’t but when everyone is working such luxuries can be provided to everyone. As I said however either everyone is in or no one is, sure a few that don’t want to work would need to be excluded from the whole. With this society the entire human race would prosper and not just lucky individuals, is that not what we strive for? It does no good to place all power and wealth in one place or on one person, but when all people are equal it takes more to conquer us than when there are fewer beacons to take. Many look at how communism has played out in the world and have disdain for it and i will tell you why. in the world communism is used as a government when it is not. communism is the idea of the people for the people where the only thing is the people. communism is just this, the abolition of currency and the building off of the premise; from each according to their ability to each according to their need.
