"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

Communism doesn't mean add everything up and divide by eight billion.

How do you manage such a thing though?

Through a powerful authority which totally won't quickly turn into a dystopian dictatorship.

Capitalism has a driving goal of making costs of doing business zero especially labor.

Capitalism must be told that treating human beings like chattel slavery is wrong.
