    I remember good ol’ times in Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito when workers lived like kings, no more and no less good than their fellow comrades in the Party. And the same can be seen throughout the countries that adopted communism at some point in their history. Common folk always had the lifestyle and privileges same as distinguished Party members. Even if you weren’t member of the Party or were voicing your displeasure with Party’s politics, you would live a long and prosperous life.

      You people both insist that communism is “when everyone’s paycheck is the same” and also “communism is when a rich elite rules over everyone else.”

      Which is it? You can never make up your minds. It’s almost like you’re just regurgitating ideas someone else stuffed into your head without thought.

        Who needs critical thought when you have racism and xenophobia. You can get westerners to believe anything about foreigners and domestic minorities.

          Yep. It provides an easy out, it means they never have to wonder if they are the bad guys, because the bad guys are all over there, in the bad guy country, easily identified by language and skin colour.
