I Think I Am A Communist...

I think I am a communist. The reason I think and don’t know is that I don’t quite understand all the facets that make up communism. I understand that it is a system that evenly distributes the wealth, which is something our country could use at a time like this. I understand that we would have one supreme ruler who could not be voted in or impeached. But the consequences are possibly more numerous than the benefits.
The American economy is indubitably crashing, but part of that reason might possibly be the extreme wealth of a movie star sitting opposite the empty bank of a minimum wage family living off of food stamps. If we took the wealth from the famous and distributed it evenly among the community, we might possibly see a difference in not only living, but the personalities of those who receive the new wealth. I don’t doubt that the wealthy would have a problem giving their well invested, hard earned cash to those who have made poor business decisions. They would eventually become accustomed to the maximum, minimum wage that would have to set.
The part of communism that bothers me the most is the rule over our lives. We would lose the right for an opinion. We would lose the right to be a true human being. Even the Father of the entire planet gives us the right to choose, but I suppose a dictator would not. They would tap our phones, watch our television consumption, ration food, make us go to a state church, and various other enforcements that make my skin crawl. They could make me eat lima beans- I don’t like lima beans.
I don't think I am a communist anymore. I don’t think that this system would survive among this country. Americans are too opinionated, too wealthy, and too egotistical to distribute the wealth and let someone tell them what to do, where to work, and how to live. I myself am too selfish to allow any such system to prevail in my own environment. I have successfully talked myself down from the ledge of communism.
