Well, I did try to be ironic but in a different direction. What I meant is to rebuttal the 7urmoil guy. Surely even from Lenin to Gorbachev are from the working-class without any doubt. Sorry if there’s any misunderstanding, English is not my first language so maybe I have somewhere expressed wrong.
@wolfsolon
You say this ironically, but a real exaple: Michail Schadow, who was the minister of coal industry of USSR in 1985-1991.
He was from a poor family, worked in a coal mine since he was a teenager, and “climbed the ranks”.
He was really slandered in HBO’s “Chernobyl” series, where they showed him as some kind of well-dressed ponce who was afraid to even speak to regular mine-workers without armed bodyguards behind him… In reality, he was as working class as you can get and was extremely respected by miners.
@7urmoil
Yup you’re right, there must be someone doing the heavy workload, but even a most common miner could become a “SUPREME LEADER” as you said. That’s what happened in the soviet union.
It’s funny how you’ll still get stuck into a mineshaft by the SUPREME LEADER because there’s a lack of heavy labor workers and there are already too many “educators”, so the quotas need to be balanced out. People are just a statistic anyway.
@that1guy
yeah, because one of the main slogans of Marxism and Communism was always “From each according to his ability, to each according to his work [i.e. labour investment]”.
Which implies that talents/abilities/skills are useful and valued.

Okay, okay, I got my answers, all crystal clear now. Let’s not get this comment section carried away. Sorry about that.
Definitely, communism is not equalism, it will allow everypony to develop their abilities without caring about their origin or class.

A controversial topic, I think - yes, because in Marxism there is a difference between personal and private property, but, maybe I’m wrong
