A form of colonialism seeks to establish a political, economic and social control over others. It involves a self-important dominating of others to exploit resources and impose superiority, resulting in systemic inequality. Historic colonialism was mostly of yore.

The social Democrats/communists seek to establish a centralized political, economic and social control over others. They cannot produce wealth, so they must take control of existing wealth. After they consume an accretion of generational wealth by paying off their unquestioning devotees, what will be left?

What do the social Democrats/communists offer? Abolition of private property, family, religion and equality of poor with a separate wealthy single party leadership.

Are we all equal in productivity? 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes. We observe this in our daily lives. If you reduce the rewards of the most productive, you drastically reduce the overall productivity, causing everyone to suffer.

Colonialism is dead. Long live colonialism? Your vote matters more than you think.
