In the Perfect World...

In the perfect world government officials would vote and run the country how their constituents wanted it--not so that they can get re-elected and receive more money, but because that is how the people that they are supposedly representing want it done. They would investigate their programs and listen to all the different points of view before deciding to carry something through. Lobbyists would not be able to "purchase" the support of politicians and campaign contributions would not be a driving force behind the things that the government does. The good of the people would be a main factor driving decisions throughout the country.

In the perfect world everyone would willingly look out for everyone else and share the things they had. No one would be lazy and everyone would employ their skills to work hard and use their products and earnings to help others. I believe that, in that perfect place, communism would work because no one would be using it to seek power and everyone would work together and share out of love and selflessness, not because they had to. Everyone could live a high-quality life and be happy with it. Things would be done not out of greed but for the mutual benefit of others.

In the perfect world there would be no fights, no killings, no stealing, no egos to get in the way, no selfishness, and everyone would keep their word and be committed to their spouses and family. Everyone would care for everyone else and all would agree because everyone would know and do what was right.

In the perfect world everyone would be free to do as they wished. There would be no need of law enforcement because everyone would follow the naturally perfect laws and never make any trouble.

Unforunately, we do not live in that perfect world, but in one that is fallen and corrupted. Thus, we don't agree, people seek their own good over the good of others, and communism is just an idealistic dream that does not work outside of that perfect society.
