It was previously discussed that attempts at a utopian society via the grounds of communism have numerous shortcomings. In addition to their requiring governments which lead to instability, they are generally installed by force against many people's will.
Communism must be put in place one way or another. Due to its communal, classless, one size fits all, nature there are always people who will oppose its being put in place. These are the people who occupy the higher orders of the previous system. They have often worked hard for their elevated position in society or are accustomed to a comfortable life. It is those of the lower orders who are discontented. They are very likely to spring at an opportunity to gain equality with those more fortunate than themselves. This is all exemplified by the cultural revolution of China. There was a violent uprising of the lower working classes which led to an oppressive time under the leadership of Moa Zedhong. This led to the former upper class being shunned and discriminated against by the the newly hightened workers. From the beginning there was unrest and resentment, and the result was clearly far from utopian.
