    Your description matches the current situation more than the system socialists imagine. Most of the people wishing for communism don’t wish for what you describe. Those people usually wish for a system where the working class wields the power in a way Marx wrote about.

    So many peoples view on communism is shaped by the same populist propaganda we had since the 40ies.

      Yes, but that wish for Marx’s vision fails when it hits reality, where in reality, institution of communism or socialism essentially requires a totalitarian form of government
