To be Communist or Not to be Communist

After reading the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in 1848....

4 positive/constructive things:

1.  public education for children- by becoming Communist, Marx and Engels propose that all children be given free education in public schools. This is a positive thing because education always seems to be a winning factor in anything, with education, the children will be able to live better and more educated lives
2. abolish child labor in factories- while they encourage education for children, they also advocate for the abolition of child factory labor which in turn would provide children the time and opportunity to go to school and learn rather than wasting their life away working in a factory where it is dangerous and not a very qualified child center
3. this is where it kind of ends.........

4 negative/destructive things:

1. abolition of all rights of inheritance- this with the addition of no competition will cause the economy to never improve because if whatever you collect and work hard for in this life isn't going to be saved for your children then is it worth it to even have the will to work for it at all?
2. getting rid of competition- competition is what drives a society/economy to grow and prosper. Without competition, the economy will just be in a stalemate and not change at all which makes sense in a communistic nation because everyone gets an equal share but taking human nature into mind, people will get greedy and want more than what everyone else gets and things will start getting messy.
3. obligation of all to work equally- when you take inheritance out of the picture, some people start to feel as if it's not worth working; they don't want to work because it's not worth it but they are forced to by the government which will then lead to anger and hatred towards those in power
4. taxes, taxes, taxes- according to the manifesto, one of the ten main things is "a heavy progressive or graduated income tax". With just one look at history, it is clear that people do not like taxes and a heavy one is not going to make people like them more. Unhappy commoners are never good for a nation.
