Many of our parents/ancestors have toiled and foiled to get to the point where we are today. Maoists would want a strong central government, and all lands are belongs to the government. Why would we want that? What communism does is, it takes from the hard-working and gives it to the lazy bums out there. Communism is not my cup of tea for a reason. Why are capitalistic countries successful, but communist countries were/are not? Even China is heading towards capitalism. It's because communism doesn't work, even though it sounds really good on paper. I am against handouts/welfare of any sort. If you work hard, you will improve your life. If you don't, you are bound to be a failure.
