If socialism means taxing the shit out of godless mega-corporations so every married working class mom who wants to stay home and raise her kids has the means to do so then yeah I'm a socialist

If you replace all communist/socialist rhetoric when talking about taxation with the middle class everything they say 'the rich' you will have q much better understanding of who exactly they are trying to fuck over. Communism will never not be an aristocratic impulse to power.

"Communism will never not be an aristocratic impulse to power." That is a very bold statement. Perhaps in theory, but not in practice. All communist regimes "turn right" after a while.

In a sense this is what the right/left distinction is - naive faith in pols/intellectuals to solve problems & lead into utopia, vs tragic view of human nature giving profound skepticism over incentives/corruptibility - promises made, loopholes for the powerful kept, falling on us
