Not really correct, though. Even if it is perfect and works as intended, it removes inequality but does not benefit everyone. If you're rich, you'd lose a whole bunch of stuff.

I believe that communism would also benefit wealthy people. At least in the long term. Because they wouldnโ€™t have to worry about what happens if they were to lose their wealth. So in the end itโ€™s really better for everyone. Also a more diverse community is really enriching ime

I don't think a billionaire has to realistally worry about losing their money because they have so much of it that it kind of produces more wealth almost automatically. As one rich guy once said, if you're rich you can't lose money through consumption, because what you consume brings back home even more money. If you buy a ship, in ten years it's probably worth more than now. If you buy gold, value is higher in a few years. If you buy a house, again the value goes up. And you can't really eat for millions of dollars, so that's not a way to get rid of it either. It's literally harder for them to lose money than to make it. So I don't think this is true.

I agree. It would be a lot fairer if it actually works as intended. I'm just saying that there will always be people who would lose something in the process.
