Communists have always, invariably, hated the middle class. That’s why their policies destroy the middle class; they need the impoverished masses, over whom they can rule, and the wealthy class (of which they’re a part). Everyone else is an obstacle to their communist agenda.
Most of the time, communists will present themselves as socialists, which is a less-charged but equally fetid ideology, and they’ll pay lip service to the middle class, saying their policies will make things “better” for middle-class families. That’s a lie.
NEW from me:
During a 2021 podcast appearance, Cea Weaver said that white middle-class people were a “huge problem” for her vision of housing justice
“White, middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter justice movement.” pic.twitter.com/nCB25aWw2r
