“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Nobody’s more privileged than this Apartheid Emerald Mine Failson.

Again the overton window has been pushed so far right in the uSSa that not wanting to open fire on black people makes you a communist.

The kind of socialism under which everybody would get the same pay, an equal quantity of meat and an equal quantity of bread, would wear the same clothes and receive the same goods in the same quantities — such a socialism is unknown to Marxism.

All that Marxism says is that until classes have been finally abolished and until labor has been transformed from a means of subsistence into the prime want of man, into voluntary labor for society, people will be paid for their labor according to the work performed. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.” Such is the Marxist formula of socialism, i.e., the formula of the first stage of communism, the first stage of communist society.

Only at the higher stage of communism, only in its higher phase, will each one, working according to his ability, be recompensed for his work according to his needs. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

It is quite clear that people’s needs vary and will continue to vary under socialism. Socialism has never denied that people differ in their tastes, and in the quantity and quality of their needs. Read how Marx criticized Stirner for his leaning towards equalitarianism; read Marx’s criticism of the Gotha Programme of 1875; read the subsequent works of Marx, Engels and Lenin, and you will see how sharply they attack equalitarianism. Equalitarianism owes its origin to the individual peasant type of mentality, the psychology of share and share alike, the psychology of primitive peasant “communism.” Equalitarianism has nothing in common with Marxist socialism. Only people who are unacquainted with Marxism can have the primitive notion that the Russian Bolsheviks want to pool all wealth and then share it out equally. That is the notion of people who have nothing in common with Marxism. That is how such people as the primitive “communists” of the time of Cromwell and the French Revolution pictured communism to themselves. But Marxism and the Russian Bolsheviks have nothing in common with such equalitarian “communists.”

I can’t tell if he is meming or not. Anyway, this guy is truly an imbecile, the fact that millions take him serious because of his wealth is not only a testament of the need for mass reeducation but a damning indictment of material conditions

Hate this fucker with every fiber of my being

It’s pretty funny how he’s always frothing at the mouth that Democrats are literal communists yet has never publicly spoken one ill word about the CCP.

Oh no! People getting what they need in spite of differing individual barriers!

Oh my god Musk is so dumb. It’s kind of incredible how this guy was able to market himself as a genius at some point.

God, if only.

the communism understander has logged on

I literally hate everything so much

I know I’m screaming into the void but you really completely lack any kind of humanity if you complain about people being given equal outcomes regardless of their means.

It really is wild that 70% of thenpeople around me are enthusiastically voting for big city billionaires and corporations to feed them fetch first into a meat grinder.

And then they talk about providing for and protecting their families while they joyously squeal to be slaves.

oh WOWWW the liberal rhetorical retreat from “equality” to “equity” didn’t do anything to win over psychopath chuds but just weakened their supposed commitment to justice???

These dipshits were saying the same things about Obama.

we need a Musk CW

another day, another invocation of communism without any mention of the MoP
