This is a thread where you may post out you personal beliefs of why communism is better than capitalism. I'll start with my own.

Communism is better because it focuses on the needs of the worker(from here on in known as the Proleteriat), the one who has so long been exploited by the overlords(From here on in known as the burgeoisie) of our capitalist society. In capitalism, everything is a commodity, bought and sold. Without a worker, there cannot be labour, which also is a commodity, the basic essential one for capitalism no less. Without the labour, there is no worker to exploit, and without a worker to exploit and pay, the burgeois is unable to exploit from them a reasonable sum which covers all their debts and yet still provides them a profit.

By their very nature of boiling down to the cheapest available goods, and the making the most readily available of goods, a constant struggle for our entire capitalist society, that we overproduce by making so many commodities, we can no longer purchase it with the dirt wages of the proleteriat, or, if we could, don't need it because it it just THAT overproduced.

Proleteriats are, wherever they are found within capitalist society, modern day slaves. They don't sell themselves outright and live a secured existence, instead they must sell themselves day by day, to the very hour, for the mere ability to survive within a constantly disparaging environment, constantly degrading quality of life, This mere ability to survive is counted as a commodity based on their labour, which is analyzed via wages. These wages, wherever they are offered, are the minimal possible.

When society makes demands of higher wages via "minimum wage", all capitalists do is buy more machines and hire less wage laborers. So the few workers who are able to work do get paid more, but due to the lessening of those employed, there is a higher competition to get employed in the first place, which calls for workers to sell their commodity of labour for the bare minimum price, minimum wage.

This has been the very nature of capitalism and will awlays be such. Exploiting the majority of society to difficult living conditions, sometimes unbearble and impossible to survive living conditions, all for the sake of getting wealthy. What good is this wealth? Why must 5% of the society be so astronomically wealthy at the expense of the other 95%? Why is this acceptable? Why have they trained us to think this is acceptable?

To ensure the safety of the burgeoisie, they make us believe that we as humans must compete, are lazy by our very natures, that we are selfish... why then are the poorest of us working to death for nothing, while those who are making off like bandits aren't working at all? All they do is sit i cozy offices and play golf, if go to work at all!! Nay, comrades, this is not acceptable. We must take up arms and demands a life of equality, a life where our ability to exist has been ensured by the government, a life in which we can all do our parts equally for the betterment of humanity, where we can all produce what we need as a society, so that we can all be educated and treated medically by the best doctors. We need a truly socialist society, a society such as ours to crumble in the waking threat of the liberation of the proleteriat... the time is soon upon us, comrades, we need not wishy washy liberals or half-a** humanitarians but true revolutionaries... are you those heroes?

Come join this revolution.
