Socialists and Communists are not known to be rational thinkers, they are indoctrinated sheeple who memorize and repeat what they are told without questioning, in exchange for special benefits
People used to ask me what we ate when I was growing up in communist Eastern Europe. Women were quite thin and beautiful, on the “Ceausescu diet.” We were not just told how much to eat by decree but food was quite scarce and highly rationed. If a person dared to stash more food than the Communist Party deemed necessary, that person paid dearly in fines and eventually jail. Of course the elite class, in the classless utopia of a socialist country on its way to communism, had its own stores and food supply at low prices, never having to suffer the indignity of a rumbling empty stomach.
So the message in this is that communism is basically a caste system.
Only the well off and everyone else unlike a capitalist system with a middle class.
“...in exchange for special benefits...”
Yes, special benefits, like food, freedom, water, jobs, money....very special.
And don’t forget the great dental care!
The upper crust of Communism is so divided from the normal people that even if an entire town saved up their life savings and gave it to a single child that child would not even be a fraction of the elite’s wealth.
Wouldn’t even register.
There is no hope in Communism. You will never, ever be on the same level as your masters.
Only the well off and everyone else unlike a capitalist system with a middle class.
"It's not that way at all", Bernie Sanders shouts from his new lakeside dacha.
Hey, easy on the Bern. Leading all us dumb proles to our glorious socialist future is hard work! He deserves his creature comforts.
