Communists never tell you how much is your "fair share", but they mean "from each according to his ability to each according to his need."

Marx's statement of the creed in the 'Critique of the Gotha Program' is as follows:

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

I guess the uber-Communist Fidel Castro “needs” the personal fortune of $100+ million he has amassed/stolen during his dictatorship. What a complete and total crock Communists and communism are and always will be (including Obummer, of course).
