Why are working-class people never communists/socialists? Whenever someone proclaims to be a communist or socialist they're always wealthy college-educated yuppies. Why is that?
Why are working-class people never communists/socialists...

because communism hurts the poor.
despite capitalism creating the largest wealth inequality in history, median wages and standard of life are the highest theyve ever been for the working class.
Owen Turner
People don't have ideologies at the top and the bottom, they have pathologies. Stalin was no ideologue, and neither are the people ruling over us right now
Brayden Allen
>median wages and standard of life are the highest theyve ever been for the working class
This is objectively false. Feudal serfs had a significantly higher quality of life than wageslaves do today.
David Davis
Because living hand to mouth is the natural (lower) order and is easy for the ape like humanoids to understand.
Big picture thinking taught in schools can show us how automation and central planning is the best useage of labour.
Nathan Thomas
Dictatorship of the proletariat in practice means a dictatorship by a party that represents the working class. Nobody, not even communists, want: to be ruled over by a bunch of poorfag rural and suburban Trump-voting retards, like those people who bitch about $4/gallon gas and spread disinformation about vaccines. It’s much better to have a party of city people who voted for Hillary in 2016 and received a college degree.

Lack of practical experience. Over education. A single practical test is worth a thousand theories.
David Hughes
Midwit theory, Both the very intelligent and least intelligent understand that shit is a scam, the least intelligent know when someone is trying to hustle them, the smartest people can analyze the information and reach a similar more academic reasoned approach on why to be against communism and yet they reach the same conclusion for different reasons.
Lincoln Ward
Based city people voted for Hillary poster
Jacob Smith
Communism is the grift employed to usurp power. Nothing more; nothing less.
Colton Rodriguez
Except that isn't true. Its just your opinion.
Elijah Hall
That makes sense. I always get the impression that communists have disdain for the working class. I guess they really just really love the thought of coastal elites seizing total control over the working poor
Justin Wood
yeah sure now tell me they would trade today for serfdom or the serf would refuse to trade...you are a fucking idiot.
Nathaniel Fisher
Communism and socialism and most "isms" are the domain of the bourgeois; the professional and managierial classes that are overeducated and have nothing better to do but sit around and philosophize. The working class doesn't have time for that shit; they have to work to provide for themselves and their families.
The working class WAS heavily involved in the labor and union movements of the first half or so of the 20th century for the obvious reason that strong unions made their lives much easier. The blue collar working man will support that which makes things better for him and his own without any greater attachment to grand political ideas.
Joshua Thomas
If you don't have resources, you want other people to share resources with you. If you have resources, you don't want to share resources with other people.
Women are always socialists. They get resources through social means.
Jonathan Perry
Idk our central planners in the west think men can be women right now I don’t trust them.
Jacob Turner
Yeah I never understood why lefties never entertained the idea of listening to the people they supposedly want to help and going along with that. It seems to me most working-class people want less taxes and less government. So it stands to reason if you want to help the working poor, you'd be a libertarian type
Angel Stewart
>capitalism creating the largest wealth inequality
Monopolies & oligarchies create wealth inequality. Capitalism distributes wealth. America is, for the most part, a collection of Oligarchies anymore.
Austin Miller
Statelessism
Jason Sullivan
It's just a savior complex, same way minorities are treated
Caleb Harris

Leo Hernandez
Yes i agree with you. I dont believe the USA has my best interest as well. My next idea is a stateless population.
