Most of those opinions are formed without reason.

True Socialism has never existed, what is generally called Socialism / Communism is technically known as State Capitalism. State Capitalism has all of the constituent parts of capitalism e.g. Money, a ruling elite etc. but it is simply controlled by a central state apparatus.

The idea of communism is great but it has to apply to everyone with examples set and led by its leaders. Furthermore how it's applied. You can't force it on anyone.
Kill one of my family members that's against the idea and I have just converted to a rebel.
Communism up to date has only been used to install a new aristocracy and usually by force.

Because everytime it has been tried it ended in dictatorship, executing all political opponents (including many intellectuals, see Stalin's Purges), Cults of Personality, the Gulag, Secret Police Forces (KGB/NKVD), and starvation. This, however doesn't say anything about fully functioning systems such as democratic socialism. Capitalism is not without it's problems either--the USA had Japanese Internment Camps, for instance. Honestly I dislike them both lol.

Communalism ie communism is the economic system by which wealth should be controlled & redistributed by the state, by the government. A saying in the Soviet Union was "I pretend to work. They pretend to pay us." So in Cuba everyone who is not involved with the black market gets a check from the government. Because competition is twarted improvements & inovation become stagnant. Human nature defeatedthe concept of communism. We may be equal but we are not equivelent. Some occupations should be compensated more than others. Teachers more than movie actors. This then is the failing of capitalism which says that those that compete & win shall be compensated at the expense of those that can not or will not. Both are flawed & evolving.

Its because it's broken before it begins. ants and termites are true communists from the lowest smallest worker to the queens. they all take what they need and not what they want without exception. they all work towards the common good of the whole colony. you can't really say Stalin did that by any stretch of the imagination or Kim Jong Ill now. queen ants/termites don't live in luxury while the weakest get completely exploited and murdered. they lay thousands of eggs a day and can't move. what I don't understand is why its anyone else's business is if a people want to be communist by choice. surely your society has to be perfect before you even think about someone else's.

True comunism is not a bad thing. A kibbutz in Israel is probably the closest model. Everyone rotates jobs and has responsibilities.
