Yes, I agree. It’s really about power and control, and gaining great individual wealth and a cushy lifestyle for Party leaders. To hell with the rest of the people (the intellectually inferior ones in their minds).
They used to teach the truth about communist countries when I was in elementary school or so it seems. Can’t quite remember the age but I remember being actually taught that the upper party officials had everything they wanted but the borgeoius had what they were given. Sound familiar? Religion is the opiate of the masses to them and we were taught that the communist Chinese inserted bamboo shoots under fingernails to punish citizens with faith, among other things. These people are not on God’s side for sure.
