Can someone explain? Yeah, Communism's "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" philosophy sounds nice, but anyone with a functioning brain and isn't mentally challenged should realize just how incredibly impractical and a slap in the face towards human nature the very concept is. There are ALWAYS people that are better than others, people that are far smarter, people that are just overall far superior to others, as such of course it's just natural for people to be above others. I mean, has there EVER been a nation/state that was Communist yet didn't end up being ruled by evil greedy **** heads?
The Soviet Union sure as hell in no way ever practiced what they preached. The vast majority of people were little better than poor peasants while those in the politburo and at the top greatly enjoyed wealth, fame, prestige; the likes of which the vast majority could never hope to achieve. Did those at the top honestly not see how massively evil hypocritical they were? Sure you can complain about Capitalism, but at least with Capitalism there's no question or hiding in letting you know you either work or become a stupid bum. It truly amazes me how so many honestly thought Communism could in anyway work, much less lead to this great egalitarian utopia. Karl Marx should've been drowned at birth.
What’s really scary is how brainwashed people are that they keep voting for it regardless of how bad it’s failing. Primarily because it’s taught like a religion in their schools. Like what you see in Venezuela. 2/3rds of the population still worships Chavez and Maduro just got re-elected while they’re all starving to death.

Do you really think Maduro got elected? Kind of like any dictator who gets 90% of the vote?

It's very easy to manipulate people when you control the media or shelter them to make sure the only source of knowledge of the world they get is what you want them to hear. This is how cults operate. Throw in fear of death or fear of being socially outcast and that's an even more powerful motivator to go with the herd.
