CommunistWhen people rhapsodize about communism, this is what I want to know: where are communism's T-Birds, Rivieras, Wildcats, Chrysler 300's, everyday Chevrolets and Fords, "a car for every purse and purpose" as Alfred P. Sloan expressed it, that capitalism can churn out by the millions and are so ubiquitous they're taken for granted? Who cares about dialectical materialism when the lumpenproletariat can buy an inexpensive convertible on the used car lot and let the top down.
The reason for this amazing inversion was that only Communist Party members were allowed to buy new cars, and they were given a big discount. They would drive them for a couple of years, and then sell them for several times as much as they paid when the cars were new. Non-party members had no choice but to pay the asking price if they wanted a car, since there was really no other source.
