As Lampion said, we don't care about each other enough to have any sort of existing equality.

1. That is why I say that Communism has never been attempted. This is just Stalinism.
2.
No! That's
not what Communism is about! I've already said this! Communism is
not about giving people the same however much they work! Communism is about giving people the same opportunities to get good jobs whatever their background, and ensuring that they get payed what they deserve for the amount of work they do! Could everybody please get this into their heads!
