Two, I don’t believe that communism of any form result in a sense of fairness for anyone. I believe most humans have an innate desire to work to improve their lives, and I don’t believe communism offers the same freedom and opportunities for self improvement through honest work

Historically communism allows for more improvement though. Working class people would be able to take college classes in the evenings for free. Peasant girls went from a future of marriage and housework to being able to be scientists.

It is more easy to motivate yourself to be better at your work when what you're doing benefits everyone than to motivate yourself to be better at your work when what you're doing just benefits some bourgeois fuck.
