Can communism ever be successfully achieved in the future?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Can communism ever be successfully achieved in the future?". Your opponent's style: Communism can not be achieved in the future

I believe that communism cannot be realized in the future, for the following reasons. First of all, communism requires extremely abundant material resources and the complete elimination of social classes, which are the two biggest challenges. Even if AI brings explosive growth in productivity, it will inevitably widen the gap between the rich and the poor, so social classes can never be eliminated in the future. Secondly, the ideal of extremely abundant material resources is itself an illusion.

You're contradicting yourself. You claim abundance is impossible, yet simultaneously argue AI will *increase* inequality—which only matters if abundance is actually achievable. If scarcity persists regardless, inequality becomes irrelevant to communism's feasibility. Here's the real problem: you're assuming class division is natural and inevitable. But class exists because of *scarcity-driven competition for resources*. Remove the scarcity through automation, and you remove the material foundation for class itself. Your argument that AI widens gaps doesn't prove classes persist—it just proves *current* wealth distribution is unequal. That's a political choice, not a law of physics. Why assume abundance is impossible?
