People are too selfish for communism to work

I would stop being a communist.
Even if it didn't already sound insane on paper, it's been a complete and utter disaster every time it's been tried.

Literally just talk about Marx and self-interest. The selfish argument is one that supports Marx.

Wow those kids are severely underweight.

Than why isn't the boss chosen on the basis of Merit? Right now posession of capital is not at all different from a status of a nobleman.
And it has the same implication. First porky might have had a high Autism Level, but the next one probably inherited it just like it happened in Feudalism and before.
Capitalism restricts fair competition, and removes stimulus to work and hone your trade.

Communism implies a certain degree of "selfishness". Communism is about proles defending their interests, not holding hands and singing Kumbaya with everyone.
Communism does promote technological development such as automation, since they're a source of social emancipation from work.
This could be used to discredit any political ideology.
Well, yes indeed.

This is demonstrably false. Corporate managers don't work "harder" than South African platinum miners or Pakistani textile workers — and yet they're paid much higher salaries, debunking the meritocratic meme.
Considering the job of a boss is to exploit them, that goes without saying. Besides, the boss cannot do the workers' job — that's why he hires them in the first place.
