I’ll never truly understand the madness. Even the so called leaders that push Marxism would ultimately be better off in a capitalist system. Belief in Marxism is a mental disorder.

"Even the so called leaders that push Marxism would ultimately be better off in a capitalist system.

The leaders wield power and money and influence, while the population suffers. They are the 1% of Marxists/Communists.

They are going to restaurants and swanky golf clubs and vacation areas while the population suffers.

Belief in Marxism is a mental disorder.

Or the manifestation of an evil heart. Some people enjoy watching others suffer.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”
