Yeah the mentality of the typical upper class american communist is a big part of why communism won’t work on a large scale, because they’re the exact kind of people who will refuse to put in any effort to support their comrades unless forced to at gunpoint. If you’re unwilling to work now, when that effort immediately and directly results in rewards for you, why would you be willing to break your back toiling away for strangers with no clear reward?

The secret is of course that they don’t expect to be in the farms or the factories, they expect to be the top party officials, living a life of luxury on the backs of the millions of slaves they’re exploiting.

And really that’s the refrain we keep coming back to with american “activists”. The politician who’s preaching Black Power one day will turn around and call somebody on the n-word on television the next because he dared to vote for somebody else. The pundit who’s 100% in favor of the “peaceful protesters” burning down the houses of poor people will flip around and call for them to be shot if the mob approaches his own gated community. The same mayor will campaign as “tough on crime” one year, and then make speeches about how all cops are bastards the next, all while standing behind a dozen armed officers. They’ll say whatever it takes to make you feel all empowered when you support them, so long as you never question their authority and keep giving them wealth and power at your own expense, because they honestly believe that they are superior to the unwashed masses and deserve to be on top of everything.
