Chinese government tells people what they can watch on TV

After a bit of study on Communism today, I think in a fully Communist society, everyone must watch the same things at the time to promote total equality.

Communism is the idea of a free society with no division or alienation, where mankind is free from oppression and scarcity. A communist society would have no governments, countries, or class divisions.

“From each, according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

In a true Communist society, there is no government. Only a ruling party to establish guidelines and enforce equality.

"enforce equality" <> "free from oppression"

Oppress: put down by force or intimidation.

Enforce: [Middle English enforcen, from Old French enforcier, to exert force, compel, and from enforcir, to strengthen : en-, causative pref.; see en-1 + force, strength; see force.]

The false premise is that people are equal in skill, and that they contribute equal effort. We can strive to create equal opportunities, but unequal reward are inevitable due to unequal efforts, unequal comforts in risk taking, and the unequal valuation of a persons skills.

In the US, from the constitutional perspective we should be treated equal in the application of law, but that does not make us equal.
