Communism

In response to Laura's blog question "Do you think that communism will work now?"
I don't think that communism would work now. the fact of the matter is that we all have different jobs and we expect different pay for what we do. People that go to college expect to get paid more then someone working at McDonalds. Another problem is that we all love our individuality. We take pride in the different clothes we wear that represent ourselves as people. I don't think people would accept communism now. A major problem is the money thing because if everyone got paid the same then motivation to work hard would be eliminated.
I think communists have good intentions because they just want equality amongst the classes but i do not think it would work.I think a big thing with communism is that people dont accept their class levels because everyone wants to be upper class.
question: Confucius taught that people had to accept their places in society and be happy with where they were in life. Do you think a Confucian society would be more successful than a communistic one?
