While looking through old Soviet propaganda posters, I couldn't help thinking what a wonderful world it would be if only they could be brought to fruition. Of course, everyone with a brain realizes that the problem with communism is the fact that the reality never syncs up with the ideals. The harder people try to get them to sync up, the nastier things become. Why will they never sync up? In a few words, an exploitative upper class and the people of Walmart. Would communism work if we could get rid of these two classes?
The interesting point is, how thoroughly the exploitive upper classes use the people of Walmart to keep the middle class in check, as well as how the people of Walmart support the exploitive upper classes in order to keep the middle classes down.
What would happen if there were middle class revolution. One that disenfranchised both the political elites and the people of Walmart? Why hasn't one started? Communism sought to give the workers control over their lives instead of the moneyed elites, who they saw as leeches on the body politic. The difference today is that there are leeches on both ends of the economic spectrum. You have to hand it to the politicians, by doing this, they have effectively steered the frame of reference to economic class and away from leeches. Forget the reality that was communism, and look to the ideal. The productive classes free from the leech class. Wouldn't it be glorious?
