What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

You hit the nail on the head, the issue with communism is not freeloarders or lack of incentives, it's the fact that any form of hierarchy will create a power imbalance, and there will always be people who try to take advantage of it to better themselves and their friends at the expense of everyone else.
