But it is rational for any individual to not work as hard, because he will bear less of the cost of that work, but still realize the same gain
They wouldn’t realise the same gain.
More valuable work is better paid. Skilled management is likely to get better pay than menial work. Dangerous jobs get better pay than safer jobs.
You are not allowed to become rich by exploiting others, though.
From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. - Marx in 1875.
Its not about equality, it’s about fair distribution of goods and services produced by the society. As in, it is fair that national leaders get to fly planes to travel abroad frequently,for example.
The recurring issue with communism is that capitalist powers keep on trying to corrupt, infiltrate and sabotage popular governments.
While there’s incentive from outsider agents to control the resources in a piece of land, and the population in that area, there’s risk that some people within that population will betray their people for individual gain.
There’s no passive corruption without active corruption. Active corruption happens for individual gain in detriment of other people. Active corruption is the role of money players, the capitalists.
What’s the use of multiple parties? To make sure that the interests of the imperialist bourgeois powers of the society are represented?
From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.

Ok, so you’re saying that having them wearing those Nazi badges is fine because the imperialist state department from the country that hired a non negligible number of Nazis after the Germans capitulated said the nazi patch wearing azov combatants are not doing anything wrong?
And at the same time, using pepe the frog online is clearly alt-right?
Just like you believe when the US state department say Israel is doing nothing against human rights in Palestine?
You look very confused, in my opinion.
Guilty of making use of hyperbole, whoah.
Now. Ukrainian military, its puppet leadership and its NATO allies are pretty accepting of fighting side by side, and providing weapons to Nazi sympathetic fighters.

Apparently CNN is now part of Russian propaganda?
At which point did I defend Putin or Xi in this conversation? I used the same argument as you did to argue that there’s Nazi sympathetic fighters in the Ukrainian armed forces.
Would you defend soldiers fighting side by side Nazi symbols?
You acknowledge pepe the frog as an alt right fascist symbol on Internet memes. But when armed forces in Ukraine use SS and black sun on their garment, you think it’s fine. Did west reclaim swastika and other nazi symbols, then?

You don’t have to explain why fascist symbols are bad, there. You might find most lemmygraders to be pretty reasonable.
Have you met lemmygrad.ml?
I think small business owners generally do.
Big business, and land owners and their families don’t really work.
I think it’s fair to say that “nice cops” see themselves as civilians, and representatives of the population, trying to improve things.
Soldiers are military, and a very different category. But! I read many US military personnel go in there because superior education is not really accessible anywhere else. So, maybe there’s a gray zone, there? Cannon fodder soldiers from poor strata die first, in any war. Most don’t want to be there.
I have particular views about IDF being an genocidal maniacal occupation force for a colonising state that commits innumerable crimes against humanity. That you’re probably not interested about.
And I have particular views about NATO using disguised Nazi Ideology in puppet states to seize and control it, that I also wouldn’t think you wouldn’t be particularly interested about.

You should commit to an open source browser. That’s what you get from trusting corporation.
Move to Firefox and open source.
The benefit is that there’s at least a goal that will benefit the poorest strata of society.
Capitalism doesn’t address it at all. It’s every man for themselves and fuck everyone else. That’s textbook recipe for sick societies, like all capitalist societies on the planet. None of them work for the poorest of the people, none of them attempt to do so.
It’s crisis after crisis, with random economical meaningless inflation fear mongering to get people to hate their fellow workers. To compete for an ever decreasing pool of jobs.
