Communism doesn't start off great. It's a completely anti-human ideology right from the get-go. It advocates for "communal ownership of the means of production". Your and mine means of production are our brains and our hands. It advocates that not you or I, but an external force like a committee should have control over them.
It's just slavery wrapped in a bunch of complicated sounding bloviating nonsense.
The shit has to SOUND good to begin with before the public swallow it, it's a lot harder to get people to join you when you publicly announce you'll starve them to death so there's enough resources to skim out as they take the majority for themselves and affiliates.
Sure, it sounds good... to midwits, because it sounds extremely complicated. I've read The Capital once, it's clear from the book that Marx was addicted to the sound of his own voice. It's a bunch of very simple (though mostly batshit insane) ideas, the entire thing could be easily shortened to a couple of paragraphs, but instead it's an endless chore to read. That sort of thing attracts midwits like shit attracts flies, because they tend to believe that if it sounds complicated it must be super smart, and that if they pretend to understand it, they will sound smart as well.
