One of the most frustrating things about Communism to me is its lack of internal consistency.

Say what you will about Marx's dumb takes on fundamental economics...

... But an even bigger glaring error in the theory is that the way communism functions is still capitalistic!!!

It just transfers the capitalist functions to the state, essentially turning the state into one giant mega-corporation.

The great irony, and Achilles heel of any communist system, is that the "leaders" who advocate for collectivist ideals always expect them to be borne out by other people.

Guys like George Soros or Klaus Schwab could use their own capital to start their own communist utopia, funding their own self sustaining commune out-of-pocket, but noooo...

They want to keep & enlarge their personal capital while advocating for "The State" to "nationalize" YOUR wealth & capital.

And of course, at the top of every collectivist system are a bunch of RICH communists, the fakest & most hypocritical "communists" of all (e.g. Bernie Sanders with his 5 houses, the ultra wealthy CCP leadership, or even the BLM founder with her own growing real estate portfolio --- in mostly white neighborhoods for good measure).

Anybody who doesn't grasp this fundamental self-contradiction at the foundation of communism is either ignorant or brainwashed.

In a true collectivist society, the ruling class should be as poor and "equal" as the lowliest serf. Wake me up when any communist implements --- or even explicitly advocates for --- that!

It'll never happen, because those advocating for communism always picture themselves among that ruling class, receiving special privilege for being "more equal" than the lowly proletariat they supposedly are serving.

This exposes real-world communism as just a tool for the ruling class to control the masses with a sort of utilitarian "the greatest benefit to the greatest number of citizens" type scam.

... But an even bigger glaring error in the theory is that communism is still capitalistic!!!

It just transfers the capitalist functions to the state, essentially turning the state into one giant super-corporation. The ultimate capitalist machine is always at the top of the "communist" pyramid.

Worse yet, individuals (the ones who make up & run any system of economics) are fundamentally self-motivated... Meaning you'll always find the "top" communists themselves all function very capitalistic.

Guys like George Soros or Klaus Schwab could use their own capital wealth to start their own communist utopia by donating to found a self sustaining commune, but noooo... They want to keep & enlarge their own wealth whole advocating for "The State" to implement communism by "nationalizing" YOUR wealth & capital.
