While the most widely recognized c*******t countries, such as the Soviet Union, China, and Yugoslavia, developed their own models which varied from each other over time, six defining characteristics of pure c*******t ideology are often identified.
Collective ownership of the means of production: All means of production such as factories, farms, land, mines, and t***sportation, and communication systems are owned and controlled by the state. Result: When everything is state owned, the desire to work the farm or work the factory is diminished and production will fall and goods will diminish. Shortages will prevail and people will turn to vodka consumption as they did in Russia.
Abolition of Private Property: As collective ownership implies, private ownership of means of production is prohibited. In a purely c*******t state, individual citizens are allowed to own nothing except the necessities of life. The operation of privately owned businesses is similarly prohibited. No private ownership. Result: When the economy fails, the government and their rich elite surrogates will take all. We will be a nation of Rich Politicians and Oligarchs, friends of the politicians.
Democratic centralism: The official organizing and decision‐making principle of C*******t Parties, democratic centralism is a practice in which political decisions, while reached by a nominally democratic v****g process, are binding on all members of the party—effectively all citizens. As conceived by Lenin, democratic centralism allows party members to participate in political discussion and state opinions but compels them to follow the C*******t Party “line” once a decision has been made. Result: You had better tow the line. If you are outspoken you will be hammered down as in a game of Waccamaw, fined, imprisoned or removed from society.
Centrally planned economy: Also known as a command economy, a centrally planned economy is an economic system in which a single central authority, typically the government in c*******t states, makes all decisions regarding the manufacturing and the distribution of products. Centrally planned economies are different from free-market economies, such as those in capitalist countries, in which such decisions are made by businesses and consumers according to the factors of supply and demand. Result: We will end up with limited goods and services if the government takes over.
Elimination of income ine******y: In theory, by compensating each individual according to their need, gaps in income are eliminated. By abolishing revenue, interest income, profit, income ine******y, and socioeconomic class friction is eliminated, and the distribution of wealth is accomplished on a just and fair basis. Result: Tax the Rich is being pitched by the Democrat Party but the intent is to give them the money to spend as they please and pocket much of it.
Repression: In keeping with the principle of democratic centralism, political opposition and economic freedom are prohibited or repressed. Other basic individual rights and freedoms may also be repressed. Historically, c*******t states, such as the Soviet Union, were characterized by government control of most aspects of life. “Correct thinking” in adherence with the party line is encouraged by coercive, often threatening propaganda produced by stare owned and controlled media. Result: In Our Country, most of the media is now controlled by the Democrat Party and acquiring the t***h will be impossible.
The goal of c*******m is the establishment of absolute social e******y and the elimination of socioeconomic classes. Achieving this goal requires that private ownership of the means of production be eliminated. All aspects of economic production are controlled by the central government. Result: This explains the left's push for Diversity Equity and Inclusion. There will be only two classes, the Democrat Party and their Elite Party members and the proletariate who will work to serve them and not be allowed to better themselves.
