Do Rank-and-File Leftists Realize They’re Being Scammed by Their Ruling Class?

Seems like a plethora of historical examples would be ample evidence, but the average leftist isn’t really the thinking type.

The dirty little secret about the wealth distribution of the leftist ruling class is that they only redistribute the wealth—to themselves.

Have you ever considered why leftist ruling-class leaders are extraordinarily rich while they also preach wealth redistribution? And why is it that leftists never bring this up?

Look at the evidence down through history and around the world, and you will see the same pattern repeated with every leftist regime. Let’s begin with the now-defunct USSR, which was supposed to be a utopic “worker’s paradise”; what manifested were crammed apartment blocks and queues for bread and toilet paper, while the “select few” of the nomenklatura lived in luxury. It’s been reported that Mikhail Gorbachev, the last USSR leader, had a net worth of $5 million.

Then there is the leftist leader about whom the national socialist media can’t stop talking, whose final objective of a “Classless German Society” was undermined when it was revealed he “Loved Money and Died Rich”. And speaking of dictators adored by leftists, let’s not forget the far-left’s idol Fidel Castro, who made the usual promises and had a net worth of $900 million. Then there’s the leftist regime of North Korea; while the common people starved, Kim Jong-il lived it up and was amassed $4 billion. His son Kim Jong Un took over as supreme leader in 2011 and was reported to be worth $5 billion a few years ago, with one report having $1 trillion in assets these days.

Don’t forget that according to leftist doctrine, the government under the ever-perfect utopia of communism is supposed to “wither away” after a few years. Such as in communist red China, home of the Tiananmen...

They’re too busy poking and staring at their selfie phones to think about much of anything else.

Did the people in Jonestown realize they were being scammed by Jim Jones?

Not until it was too late.

no, they dont. Thats why the left works so well. the ones who are serious get what they want, and the "proletariat" get to feel good about "doing the right thing" right up until the system they created bites them in the ass.

They voted for a disgusting pervert who (according to Ashley) moderated his daughte and gropes and sniffs children on camera. He has been caught plagiarizing and lying about his whole life. Yet they love him. Illegals aliens murdering and raping Americans. No problem, it brings diversity and helps the party. Empty shelf’s and huge inflation? No problem, you can kill babie and mutilate your children for the sake of pervert groomers pedos.

And most important, “ORANGEMAN BAD”

>Communism is such an easy scam to play on people... promises a lot for no effort and enslaves idiots before they figure out it's a scam. Kind of like beautiful young women from foreign countries who make you fall in love with them - right about the time you figure out it's some 40 year old guy working in a Nigerian call center for scammers. And the picture of the beauty was taken off the internet...
