Why doesn't Communism/Marxism/Socialism work ? The idea that everyone is equal and gets paid the same income or wages did this not work in the Soviet Union was there still a Rich/Wealthy Elite ? Marxists believe in collective ownership of the means of production but was there still Business management and owners in the Soviet Union ? Did the Soviet Union really have Income Equality thank you ?
