>>1057452i’m a communist because i don’t think a handful of people should be able to control most of the wealth and resources while everyone else has to struggle just to get by. i think the people who actually do the work should have more of a say in how things are run, and that basic necessities like housing, healthcare, and food shouldn’t be treated as privileges you have to earn. to me, an economy should exist to serve people, not the other way around. i don’t think it makes sense for a society to have more than enough resources to go around while people are still left homeless, hungry, or unable to afford a decent life. I’d rather live in a society that prioritizes meeting people’s needs over maximizing profit. thats the basics at least to me, but ive read all of marx's works on marxists internet archive
