Communists take silence as resistance.

The consequences of woke cultural authoritarianism are real, and they are devastating. They range from job loss to social ostracism. Americans live in fear of the moment when a personal enemy dredges up a Bad Old Tweet™ or members of the media “resurface” an impolitic comment in a text message. … Silence used to be possibility. Now silence is taken as resistance. Everyone must stand and applaud for Stalin–and he who sits down first is sent to the gulag.

Communists’ 21st-Century Control Contrivance? Climate Change!

Karl Marx favored big industrial companies over “petty” artisans and “small” peasants.

Hard-won, self-acquired, self-earned property! Do you mean the property of the petty artisan and the small peasant, a form of property that preceded the bourgeois form? There is no need to abolish that; the development of industry has to a great extent already destroyed it, and is still destroying it daily.
