My history teacher always said that she believed the best government had a Philosopher King- (which doesn’t work because “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ) It is sad that the best governments are so impossible.
I totally agree with your opinion on communism. I’ve been thinking about that recently: What if it really did work how it should- wouldn’t that be nice. I am getting a degree that pays 6 figures right out of college, and I’ve always thought that was unfair. (but I’m not turning it down) Why should my choice in career make a difference in how much I get paid. Especially when there are people working for very little doing so much damn good in the world. So much about the ideal of communism I love- My ideal.
