There’s a finite amount of money, and 1% owns all of it mostly due to systemic and historic oppression of the past and today. we know opportunities and privilege play a huge part. I don’t believe it’s fair that someone will literally not have a chance of obtaining wealth due to where and who they with birthed to.
Also
To quote the washed prophet Koonye West ‘no one man should have all that power’
I agree with everything you said , but there should be no limit no cap .

The military does eliminate class distinctions.
Rank and class are two different things
People in the military are paid according to their rank which they earn. Each according to their own ability.
Class is gained through property and there are people who are compensated by their ownership of property and people who sell their labor.
A communist society would not be a society where pepole that do more would not get more. Communism isn't about creating a society where everyone is equal and get an equal share. That's not what a communist wants.
It's about creating a society where pepole are compensated fairly for their work and they aren't exploited by people who do not labor.
And no shyt the military isn't a perfect analogy to a communist society but it is the closest in term of lifestyle.

So y'all wouldn't have fukked with Thomas Sankara? Smh. Counter-revolutionaries
Nah these nikkas would've had him murked so they can be millionaires
This
The United States kept over spending on proxy wars to over throw communists countries. The USSR couldn't beat them to their game and then financial inequality happened.
This is dumb .
There are private property owned by citizens and poverty in Venezuela. It hasn't been a socialist state since Che died. Venezuela is a welfare capitalism state.
Welfare =/= socialism
People will fukk up any system. We could have an endless supply of wealth and resources for everybody to share and people will fukk up their neighbors shyt just to create am imbalance and feel like they better than their neighbor.
They blame the leaders and say look st this country
it's failing because of socialism/capitalism . They never say anything about the sanctions put on these countries to hurt the leaders and force them to fail.

I think you're way off. And you define and redefine concepts to stay with your original comparison when it doesn't add up the first time.
that, (and no ad hominem) but you're clearly a communist sympathizer/empathizer.
The bolded by the way are all by any academic understanding of this ideology-- is simply false. And the underlined is especially wrong. You've pretty much just made up your own definition of Communism.
Overall, I think you've taken an ideology, where you have found some truth in it's anecdotes, and fit it to more contemporary Democratic ideals in this country.
The military comparison doesn't hold water either
...by your definition, nearly every institution is communist in how it operates.
The regime itself, honestly. The conditions were horrible, people would up and go missing, the concept of even expressing a divergent idea was dangerous. etc. For some people it was fine because they didn't want to think about things too much, but the people that did were under constant threat.
What you are saying is not WRONG. I just don't think even without interference from other powers it would work
The best mma fighter in russia at one point, Fedor emelianenko, was living in a hovel despite being a world champ.
Communism is trash and like every system the people on top and their family/friends, live like kings while everyone who wants a piece of the high life becomes a criminal

No, but I do think a socialist/capitalist hybrid society is best for society. People can still start enterprises and make money but the government can still provide everything else capitalism couldn't provide.
