You thought the people wearing the red hats were gonna help all the other kids share toys and be nice. But sometimes, the red hat people just want all the toys for themselves. They say, ‘We’re helping!’ but really, they just take the toys and don’t care if the other kids get hurt or sad
This is a dumb situation overall and your friend shouldn’t have been treated like that, but I don’t think that just bc a reddit mod is prejudiced that everything they stand for is evil. The principles of communism are moral and do not require people sacrificing themselves, only for everyone to be on the same page when capitalism fails (capitalism being the main way proletariat are killed/slighted every day, every hour).
Communism from its inception differentiates between the Communist Party and the proletariat. People don’t sacrifice themselves, they are sacrificed by the party in a means to capture power for the party. If you’re looking for a humanitarian and ethical form of socialism, Communism is not it.
