    Communism sounds great but it assumes that the people who rise to the top and run the government are going to share the wealth.

    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.
