Why do the most powerful and wealthy people always push for communism when it is supposedly anti wealthy?

Because if communism is ever introduced they can just leave the country.

It's called luxury beliefs.

Also they are stupid.

Also most rich people (and people in general) think they are in the middle when it comes to wealth so many assume they will get more, more opportunities, more leisure time, etc under communism rather than be up against the wall.

Steinbeck has the same problem in his day. https://hellyesjohnsteinbeck.tumblr.com/post/23486952183/commonly-misquoted-socialism-never-took-root-in

There was a twitter question recently where people were asked how their lives would change under communism and most women were saying things like write more poetry, so more crafts, work on their own farm. Things which happen in traditional religious communities not communist ones. https://twitter.com/Bolshevik_BLINK/status/1425960072501506048?t=-Tse4h8PJsObYbPj0dI6Lg&s=19

They aren't interested in leaving the country. The want to be the communist dictators in charge.

Also they are stupid.

They would not be rich and powerful if they were stupid. There is a reason that most superstars like sports players, who become rich lose that wealth before they die. There is a reason that most wealth is lost within 3 generations. Long term wealth requires intelligence. It is incredibly foolish to think that if there is something YOU don't understand about what they do it must be because THEY are stupid. If what they are doing doesn't make sense to you, then you need to keep thinking until you figure it out, until it makes sense. There is probably a fundamental flaw in your understanding of the world.

There are things in this world that money can't buy. A safety from prosecution. A safety from others gaining enough power and independence to one day challenge you and your offspring. Those are the kinds of things dictators have. By keeping people impoverished, stupid, and suppressed they can secure their position at the top of the food chain.

As long as there is the ability for the people to gain power and independence through business they can never have total control. Welfare makes people beholden to the government. It makes them slaves to the government. Communism takes business away from the people and puts it in the hands dictators. It takes away independence and opportunity. It is the enslavement of the people.

They push for communism because they know they will be the dictators in charge. It is the clearest path for them to become dictators. Obviously people are going to roll over for a communist dictator who promises them wealth that will be stolen from the rich, than to roll over for any other kind of oppressive system.

It is the poor who are stupid. Who fall for these tricks over and over.

It's mostly the children of the rich who support communism though, not those who made the money.

Google, Hollywood, and the entire academic system are not "the children of the rich". Some of the most powerful entities in this country are pushing communisms.

The children are being brainwashed by someone, they aren't getting these stupid ideas from each other or books.

People who work in colleges aren't the rich.

If you think that you need to pull your finger out and get a proper job.

Because they didn't have resources is exactly why they infiltrated the government and establishment, they saw that was the best way for them to get influence when they had no wealth or power and no access to the MSM. They called it "the long match through the institutions"

It took them many decades to get in the position they are now.

I cite Google. It is pushed by the media and through the tech oligopoly, and in a top down fashion in schools by means of the curriculum. What some teacher says is largely irrelevant and mostly controlled by the curriculum. Teachers are sheep. Those in power are rich and pull the strings.
