What is communism? Is that fair?

In this article, I will explain how the government participates in communism and I will finish with my opinion telling if that’s, for me, fair or not.  I will divide the communism in two aspects, social and political. In each aspect I will explain how the government was involved and how it affects to the society.
 I choose this subject because I think it is important to know how sometimes many people took control of everything and you, as a human being, need to have your values very marked for not being abused.

Like a general definition of communism, I can say that is a political movement with objects. These objects were a society without a division of society in different classes’ society. What it marked this period was the abolition of the private property.

In the social aspect we can see that the society live in equality of conditions, that means same conditions for everybody to have a healthier society and reject individualism because that produces competition, winners and losers. But some people work harder and they receive the same conditions, money, food, etc.
In communism, the power is vested in a group of people who decide the course of action. It is the group of people who decide on the activities of the public and may interfere in the public life of others. As I look in a webpage, Marx detailed the 10 essential tenets of communism: Central banking system, government controlled education, government controlled labor, government ownership of transportation and communication vehicles, government ownership of agriculture means and factory, total abolition of private property, property rights confiscation, heavy income tax on everyone, elimination of rights of inheritance, regional planning. The government distributes land and property among the people; communism sets a standard of equality among its followers.  

As we look up in the article, the government took control of everything for make a government with equality. Communism came from the world common that is the same. I disagree about this because I think people deserve a lifestyle because of their own effort. I know that the country have to be very solidarity, but it’s unfair that some people work hard and live in the same conditions with people doesn’t work as them. In the part that government controlled the banking system, or the labor it’s useful because with that we live in peace and we prevent wars, discussions or any fight. When I read that in this period there were no private privacy I thought that people need privacy, people need a place where they feel “free” and  also to feel that feeling of “MY house” were you make whatever you want and nobody tells you anything. Think about what would be your life sharing everything and cannot say, that's mine and i get it from my effort. In my point of view, that would be awkward.
