Talk:What is Communism

Have you ever desired a society with no rich and no poor?
"Have I ever desired a society with no rich and no poor"? Frankly, no.

Why is this such a big deal for communists?

But I am desiring a society with no poor. But the word "poor" is a very poor term for this discussion.

Firstly there is the problem of being "poor" relative to the rich. This is quite different form absolute poverty, that is abject poverty (destitution or pauperism).

And this is the shameful face of many rich nations. It is shameful for even societies who are conventionally classed as "poor". Here I go with the simple slogan Necessities to all, luxuries to none before. The question of what is necessity and where it becomes luxury is a useful one for exploring the meaning of the words.
