How does communism have the power to transform people from self serving idiots, criminals and power hungry psychopaths to good, caring people that would join together to take care of retirees? It seems like most of our problems today are social problems, does communism have anything to do with that, or is that separate. If separate then wouldn't those problems have to be solved first, in order to bring about this model society where we all take care of each other?

By removing the very concepts of power, money and hierarchy so we no longer have to compete with each other to climb higher on the pyramid. Instead, everyone is given the same resources. The same cut of the pie.

How does one remove those concepts from people's minds though? Would people be punished for illegally creating their own power hierarchies, after real communism has been realized. I'm talking about enforcing it after it is has been perfectly achieved. What does that look like? Who's job is it to enforce the laws and do they not have more power than the others?

If you're talking about someone trying to declare themselves king, why would millions of people that are now free put up with that? They'd tear him limb from limb.

Does that mean there are no leaders, because leadership implies power and that power could then be abused if the leader had enough people following them. What kinds of laws would there be to stop people from killing each other and saying that the reason they did so was to stop the other person from gaining too much power? Where is the objectivity in that? Are there laws in communism that prevent others from having and exerting power? If so then who enforces those laws, who is the expert on those laws that gets the final say. Is it the least common denominator or is it whatever opinion is the most popular, is there a vote?
