Ah, now here comes the discussion that my classmates and I keep going on about when we discuss communism. And we always end up with this conclusion:
As long as there's greedy people in the world, then communism cannot exist. There is no way that everyone would oblige themselves to give up power to the next person in line voluntarily. The reality is that if communism was to exist, you'd have to keep one person intelligent, while you degrade the rest of the civilization, which isn't fair or equal.
Because a country is harder to control with rotating powers, it's impossible to have a society that's balanced. However, there is the possibility that communism can happen on a smaller scale, like a village and such. That way, it's easier to pass the power around from time to time.
But as for it being peace, let's refer to Satan's fall as an example of why it won't work. Satan was tossed out of heaven because he wanted to be seen as equal or mightier than God, and thus he became the outcast. And from this example, I derive that even IF society was at peace, there's always that ONE person who can ruin it all.

Thing is, if you want peace, live away from people. In the animal kingdom, a symbiotic relationship is a symbiotic relationship. With humans, we can say we're helping one another, but only so we can get the other hand and stab the other guy on the back and use his body as a stepping stone.

Because we have a conscience, we have reasons to care about betrayal. If we didn't have a conscience at all, then we'd be animals, without a care in the world. We wouldn't be able to hate because we don't know wha hate IS. So...perhaps evolution was unkind to us...or even the apple of knowledge was truly our doom.
But then again...we wouldn't have the conscience of guilt when we kill. Which might also be bad, but also good. How so, though?

Well, that's depending on what you want, humanity or efficiency. If you want efficiency, you have to realize that luxury is inefficient and detrimental towards progress. If you want humanity, you have to realize that progress can take a while, say, a few centuries. There must be sacrifice but many people tend to choose extremes: be cold and calculative in a drive towards success or be fat, lazy, and happy enjoying life homeless in the outdoors... Okay, maybe nix the happy part, but you get what I mean.

satan was a beautiful angel at one point and he wanted to worshipped as much as god so he created the snake to deceive the first couple and he told them lies to cause them to sway from god.
it was after this event that he was outcast from heaven. it was pride that made him turn away from god's side.
