The individual is more important than the community, a good example of why capitalism sucks. "Individual rights should triumph everything" is a capitalist, liberal ideological tool that is used to justify the exploitation and suffering of the vast population of the world. Human _society_ is based around communities, and _communism_ is based around what is better for _everyone_, not about what is best for a single person.
Yeah, you won't become "rich and famous" (as you said) and be able to exploit others with your profits. Big fucking deal.
What you are saying is liberal capitalist ideology condensed: some people have "the right" to become "rich". But not everyone can be rich, being rich requires some people being poor. So if you think about what you are saying for a fraction of a second, you will realize that your ideology (the triumph of the individual who "deserves" to become "rich") requires exploitation and suffering of others.
Communism tries to combat that. Yes, you won't get rich, but at least children won't die of malnutrition. Children not dying > me becoming rich. That's a trade-off Im willing to make.
