"
From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" .
Communism is more about :
1. The harmonious brotherhood of man.
2. Removing ( artificial ) socio-economic class boundaries, ensuring that a few citizens don't amass great wealth and others remain poor. I have proposed such an economic system in
this thread.
3. Allowing citizens to actually participate in the running of society like was in Libya. You can read how this Libyan direct democracy system is in theory
here and an indication of how it was in practice in
this thread.
4. Making natural resources and means of production to become commons entities, managed by some committees on behalf of the citizens so that there are no unpleasant and unrequired disputes coming through one citizen claiming ownership to the detriment of others.

I live in India which is an extremely capitalist and regressive society. To give you some facts, an astounding 300,000+ Indian farmers committed suicide for socio-economic reasons just between 1995 and 2015, people die of hunger while no stray dog in India goes hungry, people remain blind not because there is no cure but they don't have the money, students and professionals commit suicide for socio-economic reasons, there are honor killings... Such things. India needs communism. So does the rest of the world.
