I have never been so happy, yet so lonely

how do you cooperate and coordinate between people then?

By planning for failure and hoping for success.

as a full communist, i think i'm (generally speaking) entitled to a bunch of what this world isn't currently offering me.

Ouch dude. You're gonna be in a world of pain when you one day realize that you aren't actually entitled to anything... not even the oxygen you breathe.

I can't change your mind, and really that's not my intention here this time... if you feel you're entitled to a whole lot more, then by all means, start getting vocal about it. I'm sure you'll find that there are literally billions of people more deserving of handouts than yourself.

Personally I really like socialist systems like communism, but even in a system like that, I really don't feel it's fair to depend on the State for anything except basic survival needs. There might be thousands of unpurchased Ferraris in some dudes garage... but you're certainly not entitled to any of them. Socialism only works when everyone's on board... and that'll never happen simply because one person will always benefit more from taking a stance against socialist provisions. The more you have people doing any one thing, the more valuable it becomes to do anything else.
