1. It embodies equality.

In a communist society, everybody is equal and no one is left alone. That is, no social class is better than the other because there is no social class system at all. All the resources of a country like property are under the control of the state and governed by a group that represents the masses. As such, citizens have the peace of mind that all the people are equal. This is the opposite of capitalism where there are businesses are owned by capitalists and employees who need to work in order to survive.

2. It makes health care, education and employment accessible to citizens. 

What is seen as a significant advantage of communism is the access it gives to people when it comes to attending school and given medical attention. This is because in this type of ideology, even the poorest people can attend schools and provided with health care. It also minimizes unemployment because everybody gets equal opportunities.

3. It does not allow business monopolies.

Since the government owns and controls the business as well as allots the money to be spent for production costs, there is no business competition, and no manufacturer is better than the other. This means manufacturers can only produce limited number of goods and are unable to demand for higher prices for their commodities and monopolize the market.

4. It works effectively as a centrally-planned economy.

Communist governments have the power to mobile economic resources quickly on whatever scale is needed for any project. It can create industrial power with a single request from those in charge, executing massive projects that would take other economies years to plan. It is able to move so effectively toward large-scale results because this government structure has the power to override the self-interest of the individuals it supports. It can achieve its social goals because it subjugates the welfare of the population.

5. It allows for employment opportunities to be given out to everyone.

When you live under an authentic communist government, then anyone who wants a job will have one. If you don’t like the idea of working, then you must support your community in some other way. State-sponsored communism avoids the latter issue by forcing each person into a job with threats of fear governing their overall productivity. Marx preferred the idea of assigning people to a position based on their talents and skills. Each person has an equal part in the production process, so there are reduced issues with hierarchy and classism in every industry.

6. It provides additional educational opportunities to the general public.

Communists believe that an educated public is one that understands how to read and write. Although government officials might try to restrict the education class (often labeled as elitists) from gaining power, there is a general understanding that people need to read and write if they can serve the public good in their own way. When China moved toward this form of governing in 1949, one of their first changes was to bring vocational and basic educational opportunities to the general public.

People can only be as productive as the practical skills they bring into the workplace. If you recruit an average person off the street to fulfill a specific job, the results may be far from flattering. That’s why this advantage exists.

7. It creates stronger social communities.

The goal of communism before it gets warped by the leadership who implements the powers of the state is to include every family, each lifestyle, and all religions. Instead of emphasizing the differences that people have as a point of contention, it asks everyone to think of each person as an overall part of the whole. There are no minorities in this structure because everyone is given equal treatment.

This advantage only exists in the idealized version of communism. Once a single individual or party comes to power, they tend to target groups of people who disagree with them politically, spiritually, or economically. Until recently, the Cuban government and its officers were primarily white, even though the Afro-Cuban movement on the island was strong.
