    Communism is a vague idea, and had nothing to do with USSR except the first word in the name of our (sole) party (and members of that party were called communists).
    So I don't think about communism - difficult to think about such mysterious thing.
    The only thing I was told about communism - it is a distant but splendid future for entire planet, something like another religion without any rituals (communism will come by itself some day, so why bother? Passive faith, so to speak)

    I see what you mean. What about a person not working as hard as another, because it won't benefit him any more? Isn't it unfair that a person working way less than me would get just as much?

    You don't understand.
    Work is supposed to bring joy and happiness to you. If somebody works less than you, it's his loss.
    Clever, isn't it?

    Of course. You're conditioned to believe in fairy tales.
