I think you've missed my point here. I am absolutely NOT advocating for communism. I am advocating for opportunity. Right now, we provide very very little of that.

We also ignore our own system's similarities to the failing parts of communism. Take for instance your own question:

>Do you stay in 1hr lines every morning to buy bread and milk? Do you need a year savings and connections to buy furniture or tableware

Of course I don't. Wasting an hour a day for essentials would be terrible right?

Instead, as a rich western capitalist, I waste 2 hours a day commuting to and from a job because our free market has totally failed to provide affordable housing for working people.

It would be madness to have a system where people wasted an hour a day getting bread. So how is it so sensible that the same people waste 2 hours because of crippling housing shortages?

You can do the same comparison with 101 other things like education. I am not required to work for the state to repay my communist state education on pain of arrest. Instead I am required to work for private companies to pay my student loan on pain of homelessness and starvation. But neither system has much opportunity right?
