This. You promise lots of stuff with "the people's" in it, and then you create something that is indistinguishable from 19th century, robber baron capitalism.
No nation on earth has ever actually practiced communism that isn't just a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.
The only exceptions to this were small communes, run by people who actually read Karl Marx and who weren't vain, greedy, brutal a$$holes.
