I thought Communists believed in redistribution?
He drank the Kool-Aid...unfortunately, he realized too late that it was poison.
It seems that all of these heroes of the common man, according to leftists anyways, are amassing fortunes while impoverishing millions
Since the days of Lenin, commissars have always enriched themselves at the expense of the proles for whom they so energetically claim to advocate.
When it comes to their own, personal creature comforts, Marxist bigshots invariably part ways with the principles of Karl Marx they reserve for everyone else.
It can’t have escaped anyone’s notice that Chairman Obama has reserved an extremely plush Hawaiian estate for himself.
Plus ca change, plus c’est le meme chose.
“And I will say to my soul, soul thou hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee.” - Luke 12:19-20
WHY do professional Communists have so much more money than people who actually WORK for a living?/s;)
About time to “re-distribute” the old Commie’s stolen wealth back to the people!
A regular Mother Theresa.
Seems being a socialist revolutionary is quite profitable.
Speaking of professional commies, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev's mother was still alive when he assumed the top job in the Soviet Union (Evil Empire for those of you in Rio Linda). She came to visit her son:
"This is my house," said Brezhnev, showing her around. "And this is my car. And that's my swimming pool. And this" — he shows her some photographs — "is my second house. And this is my aeroplane. And this is my villa on the Black Sea. And this is my yacht!"His mother gasps in wonder.
"You do live well, Lyonechka," she says. "But I am nervous for you. What if the Bolsheviks come back?"
Do the DUmmies know about this Hugo as billionaire? Or are their 1%er Commie/Socialist rich immune from their attacks —unlike the hated Koch Bros. Blind and willful hypocrites thy name is leftist lieberals.
But not of what they have. Kinda like the kerry’s[he went to Viet Nam in case you didn’t know] (Thurston Howell and Lovey) and pelosi’s and fienstien’s. You gotta share. We don’t because we are soooooooo much smarter than you. NOT! Not how radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbags operate.
Nope: ZERO
Nope; he leaves them behind for someone else to play with...
I can: Mitt ain’t dead - yet.
Sean Penn, Oliver Stone and Michael Moore have all expressed their deep sadness.....
Seriously. Look it up.
