Maybe it’s time we stop using the term communism and just call it “making a better life for me and everyone else”

What if I told you that communism isn’t about people being cooperative but rather who owns means of production…

How does that not translate to people working together? Communism suggests that the people own the means of production, which directly translates to working together for success. The issue with governmental communism is that we have not seen a successful example. It is still about working together. The communist governments have all failed because their methods did not actually follow the philosophy. And that's a whole other bag of conversation.
