It's simple... If you convince the communists that the capitalists are trying to destroy them, (and vice versa), they fight each other, distracting them from the real enemy: the 1% with enough money to directly influence the folk that make the rules that keep them in the 1% club. We're fighting culture wars so we won't fight class wars, my friend.

... capitalism is the ideology that lets the 1% be the 1%.

This is like the one fight that isn't part of the culture war.

No the 1% definitely exists in communism.

How can a stateless, classless, moneyless society have a 1%?
