Communism in the simplest sense is nothing more than

"Would you like to go into debt and work a job that makes you want to kill yourself simply to provide for yourself and your family, or would you like to do something you genuinely enjoy and are passionate about in exchange for the means to provide for yourself and your family?"

People who have swallowed the century of propaganda without question cannot imagine a world in which you simply do things without there being a transaction involved.

The argument against Communism I often hear on the level of the worker is "If we were Communists no one would be a doctor!" presuming the only thing that motivates people to practice medicine is money. Have you ever noticed how 90% of Doctors are lecherous wastes upon society? Those types would not bother w/ medicine in Communism

@vriska I think you're right about the doctor thing, cuba has plenty of doctors and iirc they're communist

That's because the doctor example is a strange straw man he made. What happens in a communist regime is that if the state decides it needs more workers in X field, it will pressure or even force people to go into that field. If Cuba's dictators decide they need more doctors, trust me, Cube WILL have doctors. If a different communist nation decides they need agricultural workers, and not doctors, you might be denied going into medicine and be steered into agriculture.
