Could We Benefit from Communism?

Understanding that communism is regime in which people can focus their jobs around what suits them so as to preserve a sense of individuality that we care so much about, certainly communism could benefit us. We would all be treated as equals, which is so important because we stray far away from that in our capitalist society. My career as a musician would be just as important as someone else’s career as an engineer. We would all get an education and have shorter work hours because everyone would be working an equal amount.

Imagine the kind of team spirit this could stir up. If we’re all working together to decrease hours, we would feel more like a group of people working for each other rather than individuals working for ourselves. If it was executed correctly, I could see communism as being very beneficial for our society. It wouldn’t take away our individuality, as is what is commonly thought when facing communism, but in fact it would preserve our ability to do what we want as well as giving us a better opportunity to do it. Nobody would be jobless and everybody would be working the same amount – it sounds good to me.
