  1. Didn't realize you weren't the original person, but the conversation thread still holds, the original question was:

How do you force people to give according to their ability? What if they don’t want to?

  1. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" refers to communism. It's a direct response to the OP. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their work" refers to socialism and revolution, but wasn't the subject of the OP.

  2. No. I answered OP's question about communism, then it got shifted to socialism and revolution. This is important, as the original question was framed as how do you keep communism going.

  3. Sure.
