Communism is a beautiful idea, but it can't work because of the way humans work...

Communism states that all men (as in human) are equal.. but the problem is when someone thinks they are better than someone else, witch is bound to happen if you don't like someone...

"all men are equal, but some are more equal than others" < therefore it doesn't work (unless in very small groups, not an entire city/country)


Yup, and the same thing can be said about capitalism. If everyone had no or extremely low taxes, people who choose to not donate to the less fortunate would be rewarded (by not losing money...), while those who choose to share some of their profit would suffer financially. In other words: Good people would be punished, while selfish people would be rewarded. People could choose to take the blow, but they don't work that way.

Or at least it is my belief that most people would choose the selfish/less risky path in that scenario.
