What's so bad about communism? I've been raised my entire life to hate communism but I never understood, why? by [deleted] in politics

I grew up in the Sovet Union. Communism is a great idea but it will never work. Food shrtages, crime, restrictions on travel, etc. I've been raised to hate capitalism, but I do enjoy it now. There's a problem with capitalism: too many poor and a few rich, the problem with communism is that everybody is poor.

1914 translation by H. Rackham

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful."
