What is the biggest problem with communism?
One problem is always present: Lack of Motivation. People all work the same hours and are paid the same no matter how hard or well they work. In a capitalist society, outstanding performance is encouraged by some sort of reward system. That idea is agianst the principles of Communism and the end result is a bunch of lazy, uncaring workers. The major problem evident in the Soviet Union was the blatant destruction of the communistic ideal by the ruling party. Those in power took all the good things and deprived the rest of the population, exactly the situtation communism was attempting to prevent.
