Communism isn't when everyone gets equal, it's just a system in which there aren't two classes, with one owning the capital and the other having to sell their labor power as a commodity while being exploited.

Misanthropy and socialism don't go well together IMO. My desires of social justice and betterment of living standards for everyone aren't that compatible with misanthropy, at least in my opinion. What makes you a socialist then?

that's just "everyone gets equal" in 10x more words

Again, no. I don't see why someone studying 20 years to be a doctor and performing 10-hour surgeries has to earn the same as someone who, say, earns a living in a less qualified position or who just wants to work less, communism isn't when everyone gets the same. Equal opportunities hopefully, as much as possible, but definitely not everyone getting the same necessarily.
