I would think of it more like this..
Communism is the teacher forcing all the kindergarteners to share.
All the kids get equal amount of time with each toy. Even the toys they don’t want to play with. Even the toys they played with already for the past 4 straight days.
Just when they get interested in any particular toy, it’s time to “share.”
If they protest, they are sent to remedial instruction to relearn the lesson of sharing.
At the end of each day they are further and further away from understanding the true concept of sharing.
All the kids get equal amount of time with each toy. Even the toys they don’t want to play with. Even the toys they played with already for the past 4 straight days. Just when they get interested in any particular toy, it’s time to “share.”
This kind of reminds of something my son did in second grade. He was kind of a loner, didn't have many friends. So, he invented a playground game that everyone wanted to play. It was sort of like capture the flag.
For about a week, he was on top of the world. Everyone wanted to play, and he lots of friends.
Then a teacher saw the game, and didn't like it. "Too competitive". She made them stop playing it, and came out every day to make sure they didn't. He was devastated.
He never told me this until just recently (he is now a senior) but we did see that he was beyond miserable. The next year, we started homeschooling him. He graduates in June.
Exactly. Did he share his PB sandwich because he wanted to, or did the teacher grab it and give it to the kid who ate his on the way to school?
