I didn't think he was either.

Lets take the minimum wage , A wage that keeps the poor on a bare existence , while the big multi nationals who pay it rake in billions for share holders who sit back and reap the profits from the backs of those who do the actual work at the bottom of the chain .

Are there rich and poor Communists ?

Communist leaders are usually multi millionaires.

 

The old commy leader of Bulgaria Todor Zhivkov lived in a monster place which is now a hotel which I've stayed at, amongst other residences, including these.

Do you really believe that? 

 

Would you say he's a dictator?

No, it can't. It's failed around the world but is now being thrust upon us by stealth. It will fail, it always does.

Russia and China tried it, we all remember seeing the absolute poverty in both countries not to mention the state control of individuals and removal of freedoms akin to how North Korea is now. Who would wish that upon their country? Look at Russia and China now even taking into account the war with Ukraine they are streets ahead of where they were.

It really is Idealistic rubbish to think everyone can be equal, anyone thinking so just doesn't understand how human beings work.

Communism is a race to the bottom. A person working in the west knows if he works hard and is intelligent he can get ahead of others. A communist worker would be thinking the exact opposite. I can work less than my mates as I get the same anyway, so why should I work as hard as them.

That hotel has one of the ugliest frontages I've ever seen.

One is abandoned and the other will be a private hotel chain I would imagine.

 

 

Here is another one that's abandoned.

Why would it work? It's failed everywhere it's been tried, and there isn't a single communist country where you think "yeah, I'd like to live there". Not to mention that communist regimes inevitably end up with secret police, people disappearing and suppression of the truth in order to keep the narrative going that everything is wonderful.
