I've studied communism/communists all my life and I'm 70 y,o. It was the oligarchs/Wall St. who brought in communism. They don't want it for themselves but they want it for the rest of us - they get to enjoy wealth but we don't. If you learn anything about communist Russia, you will learn it was basically run by a very small amount of very wealthy men who never shared that wealth with anyone else. You may want to read this book, by an author who studied this entire topic with extreme thoroughness:
Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists
Here is just one question for you, it comes from a review of that book:
"Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government and, subsequently, the Bolshevik regime."
Yeah. When I was studying Russian in college during the mid-60's, I came across the word "dacha" meaning country estate and was stunned by the idea of country estates behind the Iron Curtain.
Fast forward 30 years. The Iron Curtain had fallen, the Evil Empire dissipated, and all was sweetness and light for a while. I happened to be working at a major university and came to know the professor in charge of the study abroad program that sent exchange students to Eastern Europe. The subjects of their theses and dissertations were astonishing. Business management in Ukraine! Technological innovation in Russia! Similar topics Czechoslovakia. That's when I realized the infrastructure for all this had to have been laid long, long ago. There were books on the subject but they were poorly publicized and few people were aware of them, much less read them.
Today it's all out in the open thanks to an alternative media - no longer alternative - which has become a battering ram for truth.
I was in Soviet Union in 1977; was there a month and had to stay in hospital to have my appendix removed. I was able to talk to many Russians so I gathered lots of info about USSR. Here in America we can trace roots of Communism back to the Marxists who were kicked out of Germany and other European countries back in mid-1800s right after Karl Marx wrote Communist Manifesto. Abraham Lincoln let in these Marxists and used them to get re-elected.
Yes -- I agree. In Communism, there is no Private Property. However, there is still a lot of Property. Who will "manage" all of this Property? The Party Leadership, of course. And so you get a Totalitarian - Administrative - Class. During Covid, many of these folks referred to themselves as "Experts."
Absolutely correct. The NWO aka Mr. Global is their latest reiteration. Burns my ass that the U.S. military is used as their juggernaut to strip countries of their natural assets.
Their Final Order will have elements of both Capitalism and Communism. Guess which will rule? The Few. For the rest? "You will own nothing and you will be happy.
The remedy is more Capitalism, right? No. That is the cause. The remedy always was Fascism or National Socialism. Keep the Capitalists in line, and running scared. Make them serve the nation for the good of all. Not persecution and confiscation or nationalization - except in extreme cases. Don't want to drive them away a la Atlas Shrugged. In his bluff way, Pinochet expressed the Truth: Of course you treat people who can make and do things very well.

Chilling, isn't it. Fascinating book I read about Armand Hammer by Jay Epstein illustrates your last point.
"isms" of every kind are just tools, a mirage while they bleed you dry.
