"Or people like myslef who agree with the theory of communism"
In another thread.
Just out of interest, why do you agree with the theory of communism? And what is the point in agreeing with the theory of something when, practically, it won't work*?
*That is, in my personaly view it won't work.

But people aren't equal. End of story. We're taught at school that Everyone Is Different. Therefore we are not all equal, as we are all different.
I find it quite ironic that school is trying to teach these two facts (everyone is equal, and everyone is different) when, in my view, they are mutually exclusive comments.
If everyone is equal, then we are all the same. It's what the word "equal" means.

Most of my answer would merge with Mr Happy's... communism doesn't work and I know that.
Doesn't mean I should just drop my left wing politics... yes it will never work but I still believe that is what we should have even though human nature means it never will.
Most ideologies don't work... this country doesn't work... how can you say it works when they're are homeless people on the street will the monarchy have their own bloody train.

Human nature is why Communism doesn't work. Simple.
It can't work because man is inherently selfish. He needs motivation to be a brain surgeon/teacher/etc. If everyone is equal then there is no incentive to do something for the common good, that is harder than another activity. Communist states recognise this and so they reward those who do more difficult jobs. And hose who do the most difficult jobs of running the country and other political positions get the biggest rewards of all.
Stalin had a whole series of homes, and all of his officials had a special store where they could obtain fine food and wine, while their equal peasants woud queue for bread. Communism is meant to be a leaderless, classless movement, but it needs leadership to start up, and those leaders inevitable cement a heirarchy in place that stops the original intentions from ever being achieved. Orwell got it right; all are equal but some are more equal than others.
The Chinese ambassador came to my school to give a talk on Communism and other things. He started off by reading out a list of China's achievements. Having listed the country's economic gains, and in light of the new stock market opening there, it's pretty hard to say that China is a communist country in anything other than a nominal sense. Sure it may have the dictatorial rule, but the beliefs, the politics of Communism have fallen by the wayside, and our Chinese ambassador went out for a meal at a restaurant after the talk in his nice tailored suit, while Chinese peasants ate rice in hand-made shacks. And that is why Communism doesn't work.
