	I see nothing wrong with true communism.  However, the only
places where that seems to work are monastaries and movies.  In
"real-life", there is always some person that doesn't pull their
weight, tries to take control, consumes more than their share, or
otherwise takes advantage of the system.  This happens in other
non-comunistic communities, but in a capitalistic/democratic
society in general, it isn't rewarded well.

	And even on Star Trek, there are the Ferengi... :-)
