Ultra Mega Chicken <| sep |> The problem with communism like any collectivist movement is that it hurts the exceptional , superior individual for the supposed benefit of the many inferiors . The thing is , the collective is made up of individuals . If a society where all are equal even could be achieved true communism where no one uses the system to take control , and all genuinely take what they need and give all they can , then everyone would be equally suffering , not equally successful . For someone to feel accomplished , they must be superior to their surroundings . The simple fact of the matter is that people are inherently unequal some just have more merit than others , and thus deserve more than others . The individual must be holy and key , and the only job of the government should be to protect the individual and his property against his contemporaries both within the country and enemies from without . TLDR All collectivist movements seek to oppress the deserving individual in favour of the undeserving mass . This is wrong and evil because the individual is all that matters . Society is made up of individuals , some of whom have more merit and more deserving than others .
