In a nutshell, commies take over a country and spread the misery around. Except for the cadre at the top. For example. They take over a country that has 20% of the population living in poverty. Not a good thing. But the commie then brings the other 80% down and elevates some of the 20%. So what you end up with is a country where 80-90% are now poor, an elite cream are at the top, and the rest support that commie nomenklature due patronage by the ‘party’. Look no further than Venezuela. Socialism actually increases poverty for the greatest number of peopleparty
