You know, I actually admire your idealism. It reminds me of myself when I was your age. Oh yes, I wanted to make the world a better place too. I had a grand vision and all...

The thing is that everything seems so simple right now... but as the years go by and you experience more of life, you will see that things are rarely (if ever) that simple. Many communists set out with the idea of righting wrong and finding justice, but in the end their intentions turned into something dark and sinister.

Like I said - you can't escape from your nature. Domination is an instinct. Fresh example - today I threw some food to some stray cats down in the garden... there were two of them, but the black one (the faster one) got to eat a lot more than the grey one (the slower one) because it was competitive. And it never even considered sharing. We, humans, like to think that we are something more than animals, but deep within we are the same. We all want to grab that delicious bite and gobble it down quickly. When you are hungry, your basic instincts take over, no matter how nice or noble you may be.

Furthermore, the primary functions of a society are mutual protection (safety in numbers) and advancement (shared skills and knowledge). This requires a certain system in place, as well as a set of rules. And rules generally require some form of hierarchy to enforce them... otherwise the whole thing would dissolve and you'll get neither protection, nor advancement.

And hey, calm down - the first rule of a meaningful discussion is to "never take it personally". We are not fighting here, right? We are just talking. In your life you will meet countless people who will disagree with you about all sorts of issues. Get used to it :)
