I cannot argue the envy of the uncontrollables, the good looks and the good taste and such. It did not occur to me at the time of writing that these things will also play a part in the inability of people to accept others.
The re-education of people to accept communism is not necessary because of any flaw in the principles or ideals (though maybe in some of the cases that I have laid out, which are really my own views on implementation as opposed to a pure Marxist of Trotskyite view) but because material greed is what we are brought up to aspire to and social equality, especially under the buzz word of 'communism' is something that most of the world is or has been (with great effect) propagandised to mistrust and/or hate.
The reason that previous communist revolutions have brought about the elite head over the proletariat body is that the leaders of the October revolution came from the same bourgeous class that the communist ideal attempts to eliminate. They ruled in the manner of the bourgeous which is the antithesis of true communism. All subsequent revolutions/coups followed the soviet pattern and so the problem became self-perpetuating. The elimination of this hierarchy is one of the problems of the original changeover of system which I could not find any answer to.
Greater control is not necessarily entailed by the communist system I propose either. There is no reason that you should not be able to do what you do now within such a system. The 'nuspeak' style elimination of certain concepts which I proposed is, admittedly, a suppression technique but it still leaves people able to follow uninterrupted lives. That one's allocation of raw resources is decided by a central system rather than a commerce-centric one makes no difference to the receiver.
