Well, communists ain't exactly the smartest people on the planet. In the past, their slogan was basically "down with the elite, everyone's an equal". Nowadays, their slogan boils down to "trust me bro, it'll work this time, ignore the fact it failed every other time".
The only people benefitting from communism are those that are too lazy to work, and those at the top who determine who gets what share of the pie.
