Communism = Everyone is equally poor. ✅
What do you think about Western communists?

Many seem unaware that, by global standards, they belong to the privileged 17% bourgeoisie.

Under a truly global communist system, they would be expected to host immigrants in their homes, work significantly more, and have over half their possessions expropriated for redistribution to the remaining 83%.

So my advice to them is simple: be generous with your own wealth, not mine, that’s the true test of communism. If you won’t do that, you’re not a communist; you’re just envious of Elon Musk.

No, Joker. Accept your fate. But if you want, they'll paint a mural of a beautiful island sunset on the wall. So before you descend into the depths you can witness paradise.

They wouldn't, actually, because they'd be privileged members of the party. Most of the people espousing communism do so because they have more privilege than the rest of us. So they'd likely still have that privilege in a communist system.
Poor people don't talk about communism.
but we in europe ARE forced to have mass migration... (repacing the native population) and don't you dare say anything about it.

while also being slapped with 42% income tax 21% vat and often also other taxes like package tax, sugartax, co2 tax, climate adaption tax, house/car purchase tax etc etc on top too and yes wee do pay taxes (vat) over the taxes (co2 tax) we pay on the taxes (energy tax) we pay on our taxes (flat fee fuel accins)

so if you add that up goverment already takes 98% of what we pay for energy and at least 60%^for everything else..

but we STILL have a better quality of life.. than in the usa.. were they have criminals like musk running around...

free trade does need competion.. and people who add value.. those billionairs don't add.. only mooch.
thats technofedaulism.. thats not capitalism.

technofeudalists hate true free trade.

a common thing that was asked after the fall of the eastern block was would you rather see stuff in shops that you can not afford or not see stuff in shops and thus not have to be depressed over not being able to afford them.

Most of them had neither. You couldn't see it, and you couldn't afford it if you did.

to put it more simply would you rather see something you can not afford or not see it and thus not know there is something there you can not afford but others can?

Communism by definition is globalism and wouldn't allow for borders.

I think people are confusing internationalism with open borders policies. Communism is in favor of internationalism but it is not in favor of the sort of open borders policies western wokes support.

Which, if you read your Marx, is the only way communism can work.
Which basically means they want it so that you can't escape from it.

Just look at North Korea.

Does something existing that you are unable to afford make a person depressed? If so, that sounds like a personal problem, and not necessarily a real problem. I see lots of things I cannot afford. I don't get depressed over it at all. I don't blame others for me not being able to afford it. And I have no desire to punish those who can just because they can.
