I’m confused on something. Why do the rich people want communist rule. The commies want everybody the same. What a dream! The rich want to stay rich but they finance commies. They have more money than is possible to spend and the power to do whatever they want. As in child sex and drugs or anything else. What’s the real reason behind them? Edk
Look at any communist or socialist country and you'll see that there is always a class of super rich and then a peasant class. A free, capitalistic system gives rise to a large middle class and that's where the power resides, as the scale slides towards totalitarianism more and more power resides in an oligarchy. The oligarchy can go by different names whether it be politburo, nobility, priesthood (ancient cultures), etc. They're the powers behind the throne as they say, they support and enable the rulers in exchange for favors and wealth. Look at Venezuela where people are starving yet Chavez and Maduro cronies are fabulously wealthy. Chavez's daughter has managed to siphon off $4 billion while Venezuelans are eating their cats. Communists don't want everybody the same, they want 99% to be the same (poor) while the 1% who rule are fabulously wealthy.
The super rich enable commies because they benefit from it in a symbiotic relationship. They get richer when they're the ones backing the rulers, it's good to be a "friend" of the King. The ones that get hammered by socialist/communist policies are the middle class, they can't be allowed to prosper because a prosperous middle class citizen thinks for himself and is hard to control. "Tax the rich" is the common slogan of democrats but what they really mean is tax the middle and upper middle class, not the truly rich. The Bill Gates, George Soros, Jeff Bezos types are engrained enough in the ruling class that no taxation scheme is really going to affect them, they have enough politicians in their pockets to ensure the laws are written for them. A professional couple making $400,000 a year is going to get fleeced by democrats though. Many people will call them rich but that's not rich, that's just upper middle class and they don't have the clout to avoid being fleeced.
The truly rich want socialism/communism because they get richer and more powerful under it.
