Why is communism such a bad thing?
Think about it.
you can't have supply and demand when everything is free
it threatens our capitalist overlords
is a jewish plot
The only way to make everyone equal is to make them equally impoverished.
Its not free youre working for it
This. Also, it can work for a little while in a small like-minded homogenous group but will fail as soon as someone steps away from the commune mindset, a mindset that runs contrary to evolutionarily ingrained animal behavior except when dealing with immediate family. At its face communism isn't a bad thing. Neither is capitalism. The problem is every political and economic system is based on the faulty premise that people are basically good when in reality, given a situation without consequences, most people would slit your throat for $100.
it has less checks and balances than even capitalism, allowing useless assholes to rise to positions of power.
In principle, communism does have its merits. But as in other systems, it can be hijacked by an elite class.
