I'll answer questions if people ask, but I won't hold any place of power, nor do I want it.
Mao, Lenin, and Castro were flim-flam men. They used the promise of what I seek in order to herd the sheep.

Then you are a better man than I and I mean that in the most sincere way. I have worked hard to develop the skill set I have and to be compensated accordingly. I would resent being part of a communist state where I was expected to give according to my ability so that others could have according to their need when they did not work as hard as I did to start with.
I guess it might be ok if everyone's motives are pure and everyone is giving the same effort but if that were not the case I would stop trying as there would be no incentive to work as hard as I do.
