The funny thing is that the "elite" in a commie sh*thole like Cuba or Venzuela would probably have more wealth and a better life if they were merely one of the middle class under capitalism.

The rich would be richer for sure. But so would the middle class, and even the poor would be better off.

I'd rather be a nobody in Heaven than king of a dunghill. I don't know what commie dick-taters are thinking.

I'd say your choice is solid.

But the socialists instead follow John Milton's Lucifer: "Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven." And, of course, Saul Alinksy dedicated his book to Lucifer. These people are not subtle.

To them, status is *the* most important thing.

They measure their worth by how many humans they can order about.

They would rather "rule in Hell, than serve in Heaven".

The beauty of Christian capitalism, as practiced in the USA, is it maximizes status for everyone, by limiting government power.

An assembly line worker may be president of his Bridge Club, fishing group, or highly regarded for his activity in the local charitable association.

The plethora of civic opportunities allow those who crave status the opportunity to gain it.

It also maximizes wealth by protecting private property, for all.
