Lefties don't hate the rich for being rich, they hate the rich because they (the lefties) are NOT rich.

It's a minuscule percentage of anti-rich activists who would actually be philanthropic if they themselves ever hit it rich.

We hate the rich because of their domination over the working class, cultural and economic. Bourgeois ideology poisons the minds of workers and the normalcy of capitalist conditions makes workers into willing subjects, even defenders of their own exploitation. Economically a minority of rich property owners control the resources and land in society, and we can only have subsistence if we sell our labor to these property owners.

Nothing about this is okay or fair and the rich do not deserve the unhealthy worship they receive from conservatives.

And you wonder why some people claim the left is fascist. Those were Hitler's exact talking points as his National Socialist party rose to power.

So, nazi or wealth-envy, either way watch out, your nose is growing Pinocchio.

Really? The point I’m touching on, about cultural hegemony, was the product of Antonio Gramsci’s thought, who was a Marxist prisoner under Mussolini’s fascist regime. The rest is Marx’s criticism of the bourgeois class.
If you read Mein Kampf, Hitler repeatedly speaks to his hatred of Marxism, which he denounces as Jewry. He says society would collapse with the implementation of Marxian ideas. I can mine an exact quote for you, if you like.
The Nazis weren’t socialists but they pandered to the working class in the countryside in Germany to build a following, and slowly win local elections. Eventually, the political right in Germany would abandon the numerous splinter parties for the NSDAP, and the Nazis would be the most prominent Conservative Party in Germany.

Why mine a quote when you're proving my point for me? The fascists rose to power *pretending* to be all about socialism and the people, exactly as is happening today in America.

But they never wanted Marxian socialism. Hitler constantly clarified before his ascension to power, “the nationalists on the right lacked social awareness, the socialists on the left lacked national awareness.” He was not interested in worker ownership of the means of production. In fact, he also defended the institution of private property. Hitler, just like Mussolini ascended to power as a backlash against socialism (in this case, the nature of the Weimar Republic) and also due to a reminiscence of institutions like the Kaiserreich and resonating German nationalist attitudes.

I don’t see the comparison to America except that we also have fringe neo-Nazi wannabe paramilitary groups like the Nazis did before culminating power. We are seeing more and more fascist groups standing against antifascist activists in the wake of drag shows.

The joke in this meme is that the rich work hard.
Could you be a bigger simp for billionaires? Notice you will still be a poor working class blogger at the end of the day.
