This is taught in psychology as the Karpman Victim Triangle. The third part of the triangle is the Rescuer. The communists/government position themselves as the Rescuer.
Not just society as a whole, it's any area of human activity. You can assign winners and losers based on your own subjective standards, convince them to identify with your standard then introduce step one from above. Ally yourself with the 'losers' and thus claim the moral high ground.
Spot the fuck on

Nailed it.
