I pretty sure your story is fake since you felt the need to add "true story time" and made up a sob story to further your ideology. I once gave a homeless guy some money. Found him drunk the next day and he was angry that I never gave him more money because I had a "fancy skateboard". If people won't attempt to help themselves why should I help them? No stranger has helped me simply because I asked them. Then they try to guilt me and act like it's my fault for their suffering, while I myself is just struggling to get by.
Communism is a fictional utopia created and supported by people who dislike the modern system and create their own world where everything is okay. Communism is against human nature and can not happen. It also revolves around violence but people somehow claim it an ideology of peace, how laughable.

Yknow, the funny thing is that the story was true. I can never prove it to you of course, but it's up to you to take it as you will (and based on your response, I can see you aren't exactly on the same page as I am, fair enough). Some people can't help themselves, it's not like this guy could just have pulled himself up by the proverbial libertine bootstraps.
To say communism is purely fictional and conceived as a fantasy world to hide insecurities is rather crass and ignorant. Cursory understanding of the theory of the base and superstructure is enough to disspell the human nature myth. Essentially, "human nature" is only natural insofar as the socio-economic climate influences culture. This becomes apparent even in the differences between individual capitalist countries. Communism is not something we can achieve today, nor anytime in the near future. However, it is achievable to some degree. Imagine what an autocratic King in ancient times would have thought of a concept like democracy or capitalism. Surely they are just impossible fantasies!
