    Communism sounds great but it assumes that the people who rise to the top and run the government are going to share the wealth. Humans aren’t like that, we are too selfish. The ones who reach the top will always take more and give less to the ones at the bottom

      You just described capitalism.

      The idea with communism is that

      1. there is no “top” to rise to
      2. there is no “government” that we would recognize as such from our reference frame

      which would make this impossible to happen.
