Besides, saying Communism the ultimate goal of Humanity is like saying Humanity is the ultimate goal of Evolution.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Actually, it does, if standing on its own it comes across as a literally true nihilist "there is no
actually objective reason or meaning to anything," but then he reveals that he actually meant this:
The point of Life, of Existence itself is to experience pleasure.
The ultimate goal is a Matrix, just instead of evil robots its filled with whores.
Which is just silly. Except for the second part, which is probably what you'd get with a pragmatic but not sociopathic entity behind a technological singularity.
Remember that communism/socialism has at its heart the idea of everyone contributing their abilities to the whole, and so there would theoretically be enough that no one ends up in destitution. It was specifically inspired by the plight of the working class in industrialized nations in the 19th century, where the people who formed the very backbone of their countries' economies were left to rot by the very people who most depended on their labor to fund their own extravagances and leisure. Unfortunately, it's mostly just been adopted en masse by subsistence farmers in backwater countries, who already more or less lived according to the ideal of "support your neighbor and take only enough of what you produce to feed yourself and your family" (ironically the same sort of "small town values" that the most rabidly anti-communist demographic in the US jacks off to).
There is a difference between Communism and anarchy.
Communism is nothing more than a modified form of anarchism that acknowledges the need for a governing body to manage the transition to "the workers control the capital they use, and use the fruits of their labor to help everyone else in exchange for being assured that others will ensure their own needs aren't ignored" stage.
