I have often wondered how many Americans could actually talk intelligently about what communism truly is:

"A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members"

Like my husband says "from each according to his means to each according to his means (except for the fat cats in government".

You'd think by this time most people would realize communism doesn't work and is doomed to failure by human nature alone.

Communism is fine for small groups of people. Probably few enough that they can know either other. It's disaster for a society of any size at all.
