There are two types of people who embrace socialism/communism:
1. Those who want others people’s stuff ( wealth redistro, equal everything and a need to satisfy personal emotional failure to succeed in their own right).
2. People who want to control everyone else, and use their position to not be subject to the same rules and status as everyone else.
Oh, BTW, there is little difference between the latter point in any and all centralized state concepts, there will always be those who think and act like they are special by virtue of their position, still it is based on point 1- OPM, other people’s money.
Capitalism - The rich become powerful
Socialism - The powerful become rich
Peaceniks always crack me up. Despite their best efforts, sooner or later someone comes along and takes control because THEY want to be in charge. Human nature.
