How many socialist/communist leaders have given up the palace to go pull turnips at Turnip Commune #43?
None.
They are just slickyboys/slickygirls who want wealth and power and can’t get it in their present situation.
So, they convince a bunch of idiots to go out and fight and kill and die for them so they can have wealth and power.
And after they get socialism, the idiots find out they can’t get toilet paper or electricity.
There would be a lot less bloodshed if they hung every jackass that talked socialism/communism.
College students! Want to have a positive effect on our world? Throw your professors out the window when they start talking about how great socialism/communism is.
Pretty much.
