I need help with leftism.

Two people are working, person A and B are working. Person A works great and rarely takes breaks, person B is a slacker who doesn't get anything done. Hey look, paychecks. And they get the same amount? If person A realizes this then he thinks he won't have to work as hard, thus nothing gets done as well. Communism in a nutshell?
But I don't know much bout that so thats all I really have to say ._.

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.  Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”

Communism is giving a man a fish. Socialism is teaching a man to fish. Capitalism is giving him a fishing rod and putting him by the ocean.

As much as I want to, I just can't get behind communism. I can't.

People are incapable of truly being selfless, being without greed. I'm not saying you cannot achieve this yourself, but there will always be someone who will refuse to do so. They like money and what it brings them. And the chances of this person being a government official are even higher as he now has power, and with power can create so many opportunities for greed that it frightens me too much to allow the country to go down that road. Great on paper, just can't really work in the real world. Every communist attempt has shown this.

Meanwhile, capitalism, or rather, American capitalism, has become so estranged from it's original purpose that I can't back it any more.

You should hack their emails and post your views on their accounts for lulz.

The first amendment is and always will be magnitudes more important than the second amendment. Your experience highlighted the cognitive dissonance of America's Republican-voting so called 'small government conservatives': all they really want is to use the government to censor what they disagree with.

That being said, communism's ideals are noble but impractical. It just cannot be implemented properly and would require fundamental changes to the way human society functions and the way we behave. I am a Social Democrat myself, which lets the innovative power and wealth creation of the market drive society while the government provides services that are ill suited to the market, either through conflict of interest or profit-based cost increases.

i thought this would be about being left handed.

 I thought this was about Americans denying the existence of left handed people just like the Soviet schools taught.
