Fidel Castro's son flashes his wealth, yacht trips, whiel the rest of Cuba suffers. My parents came here from a country that used to be like this and is now very capitalistic. The top people keep saying things about poor and evil rich people-while they hold all the wealth and power.

Never in my or parents dream did we imagine America would turn sociliast-but hey we are slowly going that way.

Central Planning Elite of the Great Socialist Paradise. The Globalists choose the pseudo-socialist model because it has proven to be very effective at holding down the masses and reducing the middle class, while pretending to be a benign force for equality and sharing, while it actually preserves a core of Royalist Elites who wish to convey their advantages genetically to their dynasties. The Globalists and Shadow Government entities don't believe in the Commie model a bit, but they love the relentless propaganda, information terrorism, and control over the easily beguiled, idiot free shit masses.

Yup the same is already happening here with Bernie sanders and his home on the lake while screeching about rich having too much. Occasio cortez rich poor etc only becomes a propaganda where the rich actually control everything and yet on the other hand bash the rich.The ppor actually believe that and when they stop -then it becomes brute force like Venezuela or N Korea. After all N Korea is a democratic bastion where Kim Jong UN wins 99.6% of the vote every single time.

Why smart Americans fall for this crap and are moving socialist -I have no idea. I mean what about a bunch of incompetent freaks comtrolling evry aspect of your life sounds good? Why after seeing the horrors of the gulag, concentration camps, cuba, Venezuela, Pol pot of Cambodia-all leftie paradises-do liberls still want to follow that route.

The world has been there and done that?

Hey Jazz, will you guillotine this capitalist pig when your revolution starts, or will he be a Commie hero? The people need to know.

L'Ecole Nationale d'Administration.

Started as a way to promote the best performing kids into Corporate and Government Management.

Ended up with the alumni reserving spots for their children and accepting few if any high performing students.

Same deal with the Harvard Asian Chokepoint.

the (ghastly to my tastes) poet TS elliot was a director at a publishing house that rejected animal farm.

and this rationale has aged like a bangalore bait bucket you left in the trunk of your car all july.




this is so on the nose ironic that, were it not the genuine article, it would seem too over the top as parody.

TS elliot rejects "animal farm" for publication because "it really should have said that we just need to put good people in charge this time and communism will work!” and as it does not espouse such sentiments that it “goes against the current moment.” ...

you cannot solve the problem of human plenty from the top down. it’s simply not possible. the information about what people want and what would make their lives better can only rise from bottom up because no one knows these facts save the wanters themselves and only their individual choices can keep trades pareto optimal such that only transactions that benefit both sides occur. ...

City-Owned Grocery Store Plagued by Empty Shelves Finally Closes After Years of Loses
6 Comments / By Jonathan Dillon / August 14, 2025
A city-owned grocery store in Kansas City, Missouri, has shut its doors after years of financial challenges and the investment of millions of taxpayer dollars.
The closure comes as similar proposals for government-run grocery stores are being promoted elsewhere, including in New York City by Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. ...

the song and dance changes, but the refrain remains the same:

“trust us, we’re the experts.”

i have a better idea:





Yes, there is the inherent information problem which prevents "benevolent dictators" from personally organizing the economy rationally, but there is also the problem that once you start expropriating the results of labor, laborers stop laboring. The whole society plunges into poverty simply because it's pointless to be productive when those who work the minimum get paid the same as those who work at maximum capacity.

@RTSG_Main
When Stalin died, all he owned was a few uniforms and basic clothing. His personal belongings were quite modest.

It is a complete myth that Communism makes the "elites" wealthy.

The actual elites fear Communism.

@RockChartrand
Counterpoint

1. Joseph Stalin (USSR)
Lived like a czar in walled dachas with private cooks, servants, and a luxury train. He didn’t need to “own” wealth — he owned the state, and thus everyone’s labor, homes, and property.

2. Mao Zedong (China)
Died with dozens of mansions, personal servants, silk bedding, imported delicacies, and private doctors. While he lived in luxury, over 40 million Chinese starved in the Great Leap Forward.

3. Fidel Castro (Cuba)
Forbes estimated his fortune at $900 million. He owned private islands, yachts, and 20+ mansions. His people still use ration books.

4. Kim Il-sung → Kim Jong-il → Kim Jong-un (North Korea)
Dynasty worth billions. Personal palaces, fleets of cars, horses, wine collections, and private chefs flown in from Europe — while millions suffer chronic famine.

5. Nicolae Ceaușescu (Romania)
Built a 1,100-room palace with marble and gold while banning citizens from heating their homes. “Equality” meant equal misery — except for him.

6. Hugo Chávez (Venezuela)
Died a self-proclaimed socialist hero. His family ended up with hundreds of millions, and his daughter is now one of the wealthiest in Latin America.

7. Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua)
The Sandinista “man of the people” now controls TV networks, industries, and a personal fortune estimated at $500 million+.

8. Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe)
Claimed to fight colonial exploitation — died with luxury estates, offshore accounts, and $1 billion fortune while his citizens faced hyperinflation and hunger.

9. Xi Jinping (China)
Family members linked to $1 billion+ in hidden assets through corporate fronts. Meanwhile, he campaigns for “common prosperity.”

10. Leonid Brezhnev (USSR)
Obsessed with luxury cars, medals, and foreign goods. Amassed estates and personal wealth through party privileges, while ordinary Soviets waited years for a car or an apartment.
