Something that, in theory, is a good idea. Communism is an ideal that believes that everyone should share everything, so that poverty wouldn't exist, and there wouldn't be a gap between richer and poorer classes. The problem is, communist governments become corrupt, because people are greedy, so it doesn't work.
Person One: Why's that country so messed up?
Person Two: They just got rid of communism, and are now trying to put their country back together.

Get the Communist Roll'd mug.A nicer version of the dorms. This is where students go expecting more freedom from the dorms, only to be disappointed by a security force, second only to the KGB in fairness and Homer Simpson in intelligence. More rules here than at Grandma's house, except Grandma treated you more like an adult when you were 5 than the staff treats you now. More Ghetto people per square mile here than anywhere in Sactown.
Jefferson Commons Apartments are the worst ever.
Hey, I like to be treated like I'm 10 years old, I should move to Jefferson Commons.

Get the jefferson commons mug.The unfortunate predicament caused when a public resource, such as a natural resource like land or game, is consumed by everyone but maintained by no one.
Everyone feels they have the right to consume because they are part of the public, but no one feels it their responsibility to maintain it because they are not individually accountable.

Get the tragedy of the commons mug.An argument used by Republicans against everyone whose political beliefs are more liberal than Trump's.
Republican: You don't want people to die because of debt? You're such a communist!
Everyone else: WHAT?
Everyone else: WHAT?

Get the communist mug.A political and economic system that rejects the concept of personal ownership of property in favour of having all the wealth in the government's hands, and supplying necessary, and possibly luxury, goods to the population according to the individual's, and the mass's, needs.
This system is inefficient on a larger scale because of greediness and sloth, as in, many people taking more than they need and giving less than they can, although in a Kibbutz, or commune, this system is fairly efficient when coupled with some lenience regarding personal property (As in, allowing the capitalist based system of currency, but still keeping the economy run exclusively by the Kibbutz or commune management).

The communist party garners the working class vote through promises of equality.
The communists are overthrowing the capitalist government.
