I wanted to say something about the nature of socialism, communism, capitalism and various economic and social styles that bring people politically into conflict. I believe it is a matter of individual lives being customized in life with various inputs, opportunities and abilities. Some more, others less.
Communists have more common lives that are less individualized- customized than free people. Socialists may have moderation in their individuation and self-determination for customizing their lives in the way they want in comparison to involuntary communism that shares some similarities to incarceration.
Capitalists are able to customize their lives to such an extent that they may co-opt much of the public sector and existential opportunity-environmental resource and influence laws disproportionately. Their customization of their own lives includes appropriating much of the shared experience areas of society. In a free an open society as on the American frontier of times past individuals were free to customize their lives with so much concern of encroachment from the rich, yet they also had fewer technological opportunities and choices to differentiate their life vectors with.
Communists, socialists and most human beings would probably prefer to differentiate and customize their lives in accord with their own self-concepts of what the good is for themselves. It is simply that the dynamics of power in the modern age have made forced options historically, for large sectors of the public to select mass political movements that would aggregate the good for themselves, or at least they believe it would. Mass public movements generally move toward disaggregation of customization for individual self-determination I would guess, though not necessarily in every instance.
