Hello everybody, I am paul vergara from the Philippines. I was reading a lot about communism lately but there is a lot of unclear things about it that i want to ask and I hope you could help me.
I really think right now that Communism is very idealistic, but maybe because I have few ideas about it.
My questions are:
1) If a communist country would follow strictly the rules and the communist manifesto, how would they follow som,e of its provison if the would have no government? Who would collect taxes? who would confiscate the properties of Rebels and emigrants? If the PEOPLE will be the one to collect it, then they still have to assign somebody capable of doing it. Doing this would be make it as if there is a central governing agency to collect taxes.
2) Why should communism still hate the current Capitalism form? Isn't that the Idea of most about capitalism is too absolute? Abuses are somehow minimizes by the government that controls it
3) Isn't it that communism assumes so much that there is an abundant resources around that it could risk that there would be no competition arounf the market? In economics, it is given that resources are scarce. If we would let everybody have a share in the
resources, there would be not enough resources for everybody. In capitalism, only few holds the resources, because there are only few resources.
4) There is a posssibilty that communism would only lead to violence if it try to take entreprneurs property. Ecen though it is right that laborers are owners of some parts of the business, isn't it right that they are paid with wages? wages which are based on their share on the business
5) If everybody would have access to education, this would not insure the efficicency of learnings of everybpdy. Everyone could just claim they have education but without proper knowlegdge of things
6) This couls be asked a million times before, but if everybody would be paid the same, who would provide extra effort for the betterment of the society. A doctor would not study and work hard just to be paid the same as those of a driver. Unless they are forces to study and work for it.
7) Where would the society get all of its fund? If a capitalist society suddenly shift to a communist society, all of the entrepreneur woul try to go out of this country, risking to leave all its property just not to be taxed highly and treated as laborers. The society could not sell the property because it is owned by the society. Although the laborers could take over the business just on what happened in Argentina, this would not be feasible in a society. What if there is a scarce resources for the business? could they sell it at a higher price? If they would not sell it a a higher price, then the business could go down.
8) How will the society pay its workers if the business aren't profitable?
9) If the society needs resources from other countries, how would they acquire it?
10) Assuming that USSR, China and Vietnam, and Cuba was not a real communist society, why did failed to be one? Isn't it that because some of the idea of communism isn't feasible that is why they did not achieve its goals?
11) Utopia at some point could not be feasible because the world would always lack resources
12) Why do communist want to hate religion and culture
I am not an anti-communist. I like some ideas but I just think that at this point of time, it is not feasible. Maybe if the Communist system took over the industrial revolution earlier, then it could be succesful

Communism is an economic theory, and there is no government or money; resources are owned by the people. A lot of the stuff you mentioned is a valid problem, but if the whole world were communist, then those problems would become moot. As for resources, better systems for resource distribution could be invented, and it would be an occupation (distributing resources). In communism, everyoe works for everyone but themselves, so selfishness would not be profitable.
