Because they have not reached the point where communism is fully established. That is what their rulers always said.

Communist is like living in your moms basement. She takes care of you no matter how useless you are.

Every communist society has had the leaders driving nice autos and living very well indeed, as opposed to the average person. What is that about?

no. this isn't a thing that happened.

is there a factory in that basement free of any bourgeoisie exploiters and the workers own means of production and earn a fair wage?

The idea that everyone can live in an equal community where everyone is treated the same way is not only completely unobtainable but destined for failure. For as long as there are differences in people, there can never be a perfect Communist state.

gore0bsessed, if your destiny is to live under communist rule, please don't let the door hit you in the azz when you move to your bastion of twilight, North Korea.

the rich treat us all equally, as garbage they can exploit for their own profits. some of us realize this, most of us don't use their brains enough and allowed propaganda to educate them instead.

Maybe if you quit playing the lotto hoping to win the big one, and actually go get a job and save your money, invest it or start a small business... just maybe you can become rich and we will see what tune you sing then.. eh??

Define "rich".

it's true money and frivolous consumerism could keep one content and ignore the atrocities going on around them. i think it is the classic case of "**** you, got mine".

Wouldn't it make more sense to use as much of China's and Africa's rare earths as we can, and save our own for the future when China and Africa run short? Or even for a war, maybe?

So, replace rare earth with oil and China and Africa with Middle East.
I see a theme here.

Are you high?

Will SK enslave SK Injuns to mine ours?

Of course not. We're saving ours until the rest of the world has run out.

No but she cooks and washes you're clothing.

Northern Ontario,
My owners?

I'm worth $8,000,000(and growing). Does that make me rich?
Rich is being satisfied with what you got...
I worked since I was 19 as a paper maker among other jobs, now retired...
I eat three squares a day, sleep in a warm bed with a good wife besides me...so.....yup....I'm rich!
