Do Rank-and-File Leftists Realize They’re Being Scammed by Their Ruling Class?
By D. Parker
The dirty little secret about the wealth distribution of the leftist ruling class is that they only redistribute the wealth—to themselves.

Have you ever considered why leftist ruling-class leaders are extraordinarily rich while they also preach wealth redistribution? And why is it that leftists never bring this up?

Look at the evidence down through history and around the world, and you will see the same pattern repeated with every leftist regime. Let’s begin with the now-defunct USSR, which was supposed to be a utopic  “worker’s paradise”; what manifested were crammed apartment blocks and queues for bread and toilet paper, while the “select few” of the nomenklatura lived in luxury. It’s been reported that Mikhail Gorbachev, the last USSR leader, had a net worth of $5 million.

Then there is the leftist leader about whom the national socialist media can’t stop talking, whose final objective of a “Classless German Society” was undermined when it was revealed he “Loved Money and Died Rich”. And speaking of dictators adored by leftists, let’s not forget the far-left’s idol Fidel Castro, who made the usual promises and had a net worth of $900 million. Then there’s the leftist regime of North Korea; while the common people starved, Kim Jong-il lived it up and was amassed $4 billion. His son Kim Jong Un took over as supreme leader in 2011 and was reported to be worth $5 billion a few years ago, with one report having $1 trillion in assets these days.

Nope. They think they'll be on the last lifeboat off the Titanic and schmoozin' with the big wigs.

Both sides' kleptocratic oligarchs are playing the unwashed masses.

Billionaire megadonors throw money at parties, candidates, PACs, and SuperPACs to manipulate, control, and advance their side of the discussion(s).

If they refer to them as their "ruling class" they are already too far gone.

This is a Republic. We don't have "rulers" or a "ruling class", we have Public Servants.

Time to remind everyone of that.

No.

They  are sheep,happy to part of a flock that has all their decisions made for them.

The attraction,of course,is that since they  don't make any decisions,nothing is their fault,and no matter what happens,the herders will take care of them.

Yabbut, those aren't sheepdogs, they're wolves.

Besides, their shepherds are the ones who are going to eat the vast majority of them or sell them to be eaten.

So what? They are nothing but  herd animals to  start with,and they are happy to just enjoy all that "Free Stuff" until time comes to trim the herd. "Long Term thinking" to these people means today and tomorrow.
