That’s very noble but sadly I don’t trust humanity at current state to be able to do that. We’ll probably need to genetically engineer selfishness out of humanity’s gene pool before communism has any chance to success.

No, we don’t need eugenics to ensure socialism. People are plenty empathetic as it is. The biggest hurdle to true selflessness at the minute is living in a society that incentivises greed. And that is the fault of capitalism.
