Thanks, I appreciate it when distinctions are made.

Funny how communism, like islam, also promotes lying when it advances the cause.

And ultimately, communism doesn’t care who works to the best or to the worst of their abilities. As the opposite of all that is good in political systems, communism is also self-contradictory in that it only cares about maintaining the power of the few.

True. Politics, irrespective of what the system is, is always about the power of the few. Politics, of any genre, always attracts some of the most damaged and damaging people who exist in any society. No political system that allows for political careers will ever be devoid of corruption and abuse of power. Politics is too often legalized criminal activity. Those are just the facts. That said, clearly communism/socialism are the worst of the lot.
