One of communists’ fondest wishes is to force everyone to drive the same car, to live in the same kind of apartment, and to earn about the same amount of money.
Except for the Nomenklatura, the ruling party elite, which had everything it wanted.

The soviet union had the Lada. Yugoslavia had the Yugo.

Walk through any parking lot today. Every possible car make and model is represented. Leftists hate that! They don’t want you to drive a better car than me. That’s why they pretend to tax “gas guzzlers” and are promoting the “self driving” car.

The discussion should not be about how bad a car it was. It should be about the fact that the regime forced it upon the people to establish “equality.” And today’s leftists will do the very same thing, if allowed.

Self driving cars, mass transit and bicycles. What a brave new world.
Actually, I spent some time in Tokyo and they were already there ...

Paraphrasing what Bernie said, who needs 20 something different brands of deodorant?
