To paraphrase Dennis Prager, “Communists lie with the ease with which everyone else breathes.”
Communists find useful idiots everywhere.
Communists don’t need real senators to do their dirty work when student senators will do it for them:
Australia envies the CCP’s social-credit-score system.
Australia already has reverted to a prison island.
So, it makes sense that Australia now envies the CCP’s social-credit-score system.
As posted earlier, what could possibly go wrong with a social-credit-score system?!
Communists sometimes seem like monarchs.
Did Karl Marx want nations abolished, or not? You decide. He couldn’t!
Karl Marx argued in The Communist Manifesto for the abolition of all nations:
The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality. The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got.

Marx argued three pages later for punishing international emigration:
…in the most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

…
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants….
So, Karl Marx did not believe in nations but did believe in punishing those who emigrated from a nation.

Karl Marx was a snowflake.
As Ben Shapiro popularized, a “snowflake” is someone who melts when confronted with an opinion or fact that is inconsistent with his or her worldview.
Karl Marx was a snowflake. For proof, look at how he refused in The Communist Manifesto to respond to charges against communism from three standpoints:
The charges against communism made from a religious, a philosophical and, generally, from an ideological standpoint, are not deserving of serious examination.

Karl Marx did not understand human nature.
If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class; if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.
