Comment on I'm not asking to be rich.

Again, you’re skirting around saying things. If you want to say that capitalism is bad and communism is good that’s fine by me.
Personally, I see flaws in both systems. They’re different, but both are susceptible to exploitation, albeit in slightly different forms. It’s only through constant review and viligilance that the rot can be kept away.

Communism is not complacency or obedience.
It is the eradication of the systems of exploitation.

And yet, in many countries that have applied communism people still get exploited.

If worker exploitation has not been overcome, then communism has not been achieved.
As I say, I feel doubtful that you genuinely understand communism.

I’d agree with that. Communism has not really ever been implemented successfully, for a number of reasons. One of those is incumbents from the old system trying to twist the new system into something else, all for their own benefit so they can stay on top. Another is influence from non-Communist nations eg the US.
You keep saying that but offer no actual corrections to say where I’m wrong or what is right.
