    Communism is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is expected to pull the others up. Which is great if he’s a good person but most people aren’t.

      Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.

        But then he’s valued more and gets tax breaks if he allows others to make him more money by producing value for him. Then he’s a job creator for having ownership of the means of production.

          The whole idea of a “job creator” is hilarious. As if they’re the ones who created the demand. If a job creator really created jobs, then layoffs wouldn’t ever happen. Job facilitator would be generous.

      That is not even close to what communism is. This strange analogy best fits the capitalist concept of trickle down economics. Someone will steal enough money from the workers to become a billionaire and then will give money back to the workers. This isn’t and has never been an actual function of capitalism.
