“Because all the REAL socialists end up in the elite ruling class where they accumulate wealth and live more extremely capitalistic lives than any Western venture capitalist you have ever met.”
You seem to be confused, stealing huge sums through government action is not quite the same as capitalism.
I wasn’t using the term “capitalist” in reference to how they GET money; only to how they SPEND it.
Socialist elites are leeches off the public coffers; that’s a known, and there’s nothing capitalist about that. But on the other end of the balance sheet, they spend and live high on the hog like every big name capitalist ever has: First Class jet set top to bottom.
