I think Communism is wrong mainly from the aspect of belief in wise people. That is I learn Talmud and see straight forwards market Capitalism in the three major tractates, Bava Kama, Bava Metzia, Bava Batra. I read the Bible and see the command "Thou shalt not steal." That means also one is not allowed to steal from rich people just as much as from poor people.
I also see, "Thou shalt not covet," which seems relevant.
Then I also have great respect for people that I consider wise nowadays like Dr Kelley Ross and Michael Huemer and Edward Feser. I read Dr Huemer's critique on communism and it made sense to me. [That it is based on the labor theory of value.]
Then I have have had many conversations with people in the former USSR and asked about their experiences. Plus I also remember how America was before the liberals ruined it. So all and all I am pretty disappointed with the Left and anything to do with socialism.
Plus I am kind of shocked when I see or hear people advocating socialistic policies. I wonder, "Do they not know where this leads to?"
And Kelley Ross made a profound statement concerning the job of the State:" On the other hand, if the state provides for general interests only indirectly by being the guarantor of justice, this does not need to be understood as any kind of contract; for no one agrees to be bound by justice. Those who do wrong certainly do not agree to be bound by justice, but those are precisely the ones against whom the state will legitimately exercise force."
