“If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth programme, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs.
Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.”
- Gary Allen
Great quote. New to me.
Thank you for that. I have always wondered why the wealthy would want socialism/communism and Putin is proof exemplified and multiplied.
