So...the solution is to reward the greedy? To give power to those who crave power over their fellow man? That's just crazy. The idea that the people are too stupid or too corrupt to control their own society has been embraced by every enemy of democracy throughout history.

Communism isn't about making a perfect society, no more than the abolition of slavery or the revolutions against monarchy were aimed at creating perfect societies. It's just about making society better by abolishing unjust forms of exploitation and oppression. Communism is firmly grounded in materialism, not utopianism.
