I try and capture the essence of Communism from time to time in definitions I hope are vaguely Bierce-ish.
Communism is a creed designed to create permanent inequalities of wealth and power in the name of eliminating inequalities of wealth and power.
If you look at the HISTORY, that is quite accurate. You know who has created a LOT of new billionaires in this whole COVID SNAFU? China. The largest nation on Earth supposedly dedicated to the elimination of private wealth.
