Everyone getting the same amount seems fair in theory. A couple problems with that though: A) Who is it that decides who has too much & who has too little? B) who actually dishes it out & enforces it? Ask your daughter those questions sometime in a very polite & innocent way. Therein lies the reason why "real communism" always fails.

Ask her to cite an example of a country that operates under "real communism" & see what she comes up with. Are the people happy? Is it country that really existed at a point in time??? How does she know & how did it fall? What they call "real communism" is an impossibility because there always has to be someone to maintain it. This someone has to know everything & be completely even handed. Anyone who is capable of convincing everyone that they are completely even handed is most likely a psychopath.

The other problem is what if someone really does need more? What is the process for that? I suppose they might say they should fill out all these forms & hope for the best. In good old capitalism you just go out & buy it. If you don't have the money you find a way to make it or convince a relative or friend or maybe the bank to lend it to you. It's a relatively simple process.& it doesn't depend on the whims of the government

Lastly, above here I am just mentioning one's simple needs. What about innovation? What drives that in a communist land? Where are the people who start a business in their garage which ends up bringing humanity to a much better place? If they are in a communist country they are doing it in secret hoping the government doesn't find out & to boot, their only hope would be to sell their product in a non communist country! That does not inspire innovation to well. This is why communist countries are always behind & to catch up, all they can do is steal the ideas of non communist countries.

You probably thought of all these points but I just figured Id'd throw out a few to ask her in a friendly non confrontive way if & when the subject ever came up. Best of luck with her
