Well, a couple things. While I do not personally support full on communism, it certainly isn't as bad as many peg it out to be. I would argue we have never had a true communistic government in human history. Even countries that we peg as being communist still have that upper 5% of the population, which is completely against the entire idea, not to mention there really should be no money in any citizens hands in a communist government. And that comes from the inherent greediness of people. Even though a person may support the ideals of communism as a whole, they themselves still want to live above their neighbors once those ideals are in place (This is seen in many types of government...the United States is really no different, as many Republicans and Democrats don't themselves live by the very rules they think should be in place).
I really don't think it is the worst thing in the world to have a nationalized health care, nationalized secondary education, etc. My issue with a country such as the United States having this, however, is I know for 100% certainty it will not be operated efficiently, and will lead to worse conditions. People want to get paid for the work they do, and I certainly would feel abused if I got paid the same (nothing) to do accounting than somebody else got paid to work in a fast food restaurant.
Additionally, as somebody who is smart with money, and knows that there is an extremely simple concept called saving, a communistic just feels so wrong for me, as even making the exact same salary as my next door neighbor, I will be worth exponentially more than them when I retire.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
