Yes that’s the point, wages are not the same really. Saying communism is when wages are the same just doesn’t make sense. That’s not what the ideology is about. And yet it’s the one thing people think of when they hear the word communism.
Saying a doctor shouldn’t make the same amount of money as a garbage man also doesn’t add anything meaningful to the discussion either. It just shows that you see garbage people as lesser somehow, despite it being a completely different and yet still important job. I personally couldn’t give a shit if I made the same as a ‘low skilled’ person, as long as I can live a comfortable life myself without having to worry about starvation, health problems, becoming homeless etc.
That’s a great point actually, as long as you’re safe and healthy and people around you are too, then there’s not really a genuine issue with the guy next door getting 50 bucks extra to buy baby food
