Both Liberals and Western Lefties are shocked when they remember that Communist nations also have economies.

But communist governments don't have the circular logic that if the economy is doing well, people are doing well because when people are doing well it's because of the economy (and when people are not doing well, it's in service of the greater good to improve The Economy). And if you won't sacrifice the poor and unemployed on the altar of The Economy, you aren't the adults in the room. maybe-later-kiddo debate-me-debate-me

Nope, my form of communism doesn't even have an economy. We don't care if the number goes up we don't have a number. Actually we banned all numbers. Don't need 'em anymore. Numbers never did anything good for anyone, numbers were invented by the borjussy elite to keep us oppressed.

I read an article the other day about a Goldman energy trader who was retiring early after making $100 million in bonuses. Because this dude could buy something with other people's money and then wait for the price to go up, he deserved all the wealth of the pharaohs and then some.

Edit: That's it, that's the bit.
