think communism is what we should be striving for.

Simple - it's the ideal. Will we ever get there? Possibly not. Is it even desirable? Debatable. But it's always better to know where to go and not know how to get there than having the option of going anywhere and not knowing where to go.

Simple - it’s the ideal.

Not in my view. I don't want the State owning all sources of wealth and material goods. The problem with capitalism is that too much of that stuff gets funneled into too few hands. Communism is the same problem, just different people. No thanks.

I don't want the State

Sounds like your problem is with something else because, by definition, communism is stateless

Good news - neither do communists! In fact communists want NO state :D
