Communism

Overview

Communism is a hugely successful ideology that brought prosperity to many parts of many populated (later un-populated for reasons having nothing to with starvation or death squads) planets in many galaxies. It is widely hailed as the greatest invention ever by many of the universes smartest people. Those who opposed it on planets where communism brought prosperity died because they were stupid and unenlightened despite widespread myths they were sent to gulags.

Backstory

Essentially this guy with a beard named Karl Marx went to a store and was like "why can't people have this for free I need food to live and I will literally starve if I don't eat." (not an ironic question you right wing nut job.) The business owner said "well i need to eat too." but Marx was having none of his bourgeoisie bullshit. "Well why don't we just get the government to distribute food and everyone is forced to work instead?" Marx replied, knowing he had just crushed this right wing Nazi in their little debate. "Isn't it just easier if I do the same thing on a smaller scale?" The owner replied. Marx chuckled. "Haha no you see you are an individual and therefore greedy. The government is trustworthy and so is the collective. They will never be wrong and should make all of the decisions." After going home, glowing with pride from the debate he had just won, Marx wrote a book about his ideas and thus began a reign of peace and prosperity that would make Thanos blush.
