Communism is a political, economic and social system that proposes the creation of a society without economic classes, private property or economic production from the private sector. Thus, it proposes that the means of production be common to the whole society, being managed by the government and not by individuals. In addition, it advocates the elimination of the concept of money as a means of exchange, to be based on the redistribution of production in an equitable manner based on the needs of each individual by the government.
