The European Youth has no memory of the failures of communism, and when +10% of danish voters seem inclined to vote for communism, it is appropriate to refresh the content of communism.
Communism is apparently a happy utopia where everyone has equal amount of wealth and everything is good BUT:
1. In a communist society, the first victim is DEMOCRACY since communism can not work if a narrow majority suddenly had to choose to leave communism. Hardcore Communists may argue that they are in favor of democracy, but 100 years of experience shows that democracy is the first victim of a communist society.
2. In a communist society operated only with the lower elements of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, with self-realisation reduced to altruism /presents to society, since no one can get more than others by doing an effort. Eventually all the goods in any shops will look more and more GRAY AND UNIFORM.
3. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION is severely affected by communism. Since communism can not afford democracy or other subversive acts, communism will eventually hit harder and harder down on dissidents and dissenters. Typically, communism used forced labor or the death penalty or imprisonment indefinitely.
4. OWNERSHIP disappears (maybe you can own your own toothbrush) NOT, but is transferred to the state. All human experience shows that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There will thus be a new elite passed by party bosses that enjoys the few remaining luxuries. The 10% of Denmark's population today would vote for the Communist Party (Enhedslisten) is not among these megatycoons as a non-democratic country can be controlled with very few in the privileged class.
5. THE RULE OF LAW ceases to function. Judges must necessarily throw out all previous case law in a communist society, as the precedent was based on the right to property and other rights. The new communist law will favour the state in unprecedented proportions, as the lack of democracy and thus the lack of separation of powers does that the judges have only one power to relate to. (And would do well to remember it)
6. The ECONOMY IS SLOWED TO A HALT. You work by now only under the threat of jail or labour camp, the man without a job will earn just as well as you.
7. SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY will see unseen dimensions. Since the communist society requires total submission we will quickly develop a community where all spies on all for even the smallest offenses. Confidence in the neighbour disappears and only the closest family continue to speak openly and honestly with each other.
8 .The BORDERS ARE CLOSED. It is a natural consequence of the impossibility of self-realization and the closing down of freedom of expression that people wants to go. Only very obedient party people are allowed to travel.
9. CENSORSHIP IS A MEGABIG BUSINESS. Since no one may speak negatively about communism there will be plenty of jobs for censorship people monitoring newspapers, books, the internet, etc. (EU has made a new institute for surveillance - also against bloggers)

10. JOY OF LIFE DISAPPEAR. In a communist society where freedom of expression, democracy and self-realization is denied the discouragement tone spreads like a basille like wildfire to the entire population.
It has been tried. It was called the SovjetUnion. It collapsed in 1991.
#EU is walking down that road too. Read more here: http://xrepublic.tv/node/1232
The aspect of the massmurdering in the name of communism is another way to look at communism. It is estimated that about 100 million have been murdered in the name of communism: http://www.thecommentator.com/article/4230/so_how_many_did_communism_kill#.Uk_9CEKLHko.twitter
