Because it does work -— the hidden purpose is not to make a workable economy or help the poor, it’s to establish a bureaucratic ruling class that is unshakeable and impregnable and unaccountable to anybody.
Communism sets up a new rich ruling class with unlimited power. Power freaks at the top can kill people, commit genocide, control every aspect of people’s lives and live like kings.
That’s why.
the big difference between the communist ruling class and old-fashioned aristocracies is that Communists have learned the incredible power of propaganda and outright lies. they are expert liars.
The Useful Idiots may believe it, but what happens to them goes without saying.
