communism means taking everything from regular people to give to the elite.

Funnily enough capitalism is trying to do the exact same thing!

I guess communism was more efficient at doing it!

(bit tongue in cheek of course - I guess capitalism is better at pretending/leaving enough scraps for the masses so they don't notice as much)

Capitalism is just really good at telling people the reason they are poor is because they just don't work as hard as the elites

Yet people want to live in capitalist countries the most. Curious.

Or are you merely arguing that it means that in practice?

I‘m sure if people want communism, they want the idealistic version.

That is what I mean. They don't want to live like the Soviets or Venezuelans or Cubans. They have a madeup idealistic version that is not real, never was and never will.
