Im my opinion, Communisme have to be instaured by elections, not strengh (force?)!
If people vote communisme a lot of people will stop dying because of moneyless.
Look at Cuba! When Fidel Castro took the country, prostitution stopped, children stopped dying by famine, students were sent in campaign to educate people, population was very happy. But he decides after to reign alone and communism became a dictature... and the country is like we know it now :(

Lol. I gonna try to speak a corretc english (i'm french)
See in communism ideas who tells richest people give a part of their fortune to people who need it, and not the pseudo-communism instaured in USSR (olygarchy), north Korea(dictature)..., just to be set against capitalism union (USA, UK, France...).
The really communism has never been instaured.
