how do you explain communism in your best words? How can you tell if someone is.

Communism is basically a form of equality with regards to the rights of people. There should be no higher or lower class of citizens and everyone should have equal rights to everything.

Hi samafayla my dear friend richnai has given the best definition of communism. Communism is based on the theory of collectivism, that the people should own the means of production and all must share and reap equally the benefits. It consider communism akin to four men carrying a corpse. It would reach the graveyard or crematorium safely only if all share the burden equally and all are of equal height. The problem is that God and nature did not create everyone equal, some are tall and some are short. In communism the effort they apply to produce is unequal yet they all want an equal share in everything. The result is that it merely sows a seed of discord. Not everyone is happy in communism. Those who do not work enjoy and those who work simply toil. Whereas in democracy one is rewarded according to the effort he puts in. In democracy the system allows one to compete and advance in life. Communism on the other hand retards the progress.
