The communist experiment has been tried many times and always ended in tyranny, starvation and death. When will communists show some scientific method and accept they and it is wrong?
Not if there is rule of law and property rights. When they exist economic growth creates surpluses that benefit everyone. Remember over 50% of US citizens don't pay income tax, but gets Medicare and social benefits that they don't pay for.

They benefit the few in the short term, the rest get whatever splashes out of the cup And I honestly think that’s good, I hope to soon live in an America where 80% don’t pay income tax, but still get Medicare and social benefits. I mean, I guess they can pay other taxes, though

They do pay sales tax, which is regressive. But having no skin in the game is a problem. Look at it on the state level. California gets 50% of its tax revenue from 160,000 tax payers, what if 10% of them leave and go to another state?
