I love freedom and individualism, that is, respecting the individuals and their lives, property and choices. Socialism and communism are all about stealing from people. I've lived the last 12 years of my life under one of the four biggest socialist regimes in the world: Argentina (North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela come first). I worked as an high school teacher for peanuts. Taxation was heavy as hell. You see, in socialist regimes money is centralized so no enterpreneurs might succeed without the govt. Socialism is all about money without taking into account production. It's crazy. Musicians starve unless they work for the regime (they don't have to sell records, just perform using everyone's money without our consent) thus becoming propaganda machines instead of artists.
Why do I mention socialism? Because communists believe socialism is the first step in order to acquire a communist mentality. You need govt first in order to change EVERYONE'S mind so you can get rid of it afterwards.
Truth is, in communism nothing belongs to anyone, not even your own life. I can't even make a guitar in a commune because that would automatically become a private good. I can't trade, I can't have savings. I can't choose what to wear or where to work. You have to live for the rest (and so, everyone becomes a slave to everyone else). I don't like it one bit. Sorry.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
