Well...they did provide me opportunities for income 40-50 years ago...
"An anti-capitalist café in Toronto where patrons would pay what they can has shut down after a year in business after failing to make enough money.
Owners of The Anarchist, which opened in March 2022 and had been described as an 'anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe, shop and radical community space on stolen land,' said the coffee shop will close its doors on May 30.
'Unfortunately, the lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources left me unable to weather the quiet winter season, or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer-term,' owner Gabriel Sims-Fewer wrote..." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... iness.html
It seems fewer and fewer paying customers were of the ethically bankrupt kind.
I would have been there every single day drinking tons of the stuff. Along with a couple of friends. You know...to help him along in his struggle...

In other news...
"U.S. — A new USA Today poll has found that an overwhelming majority of Democrats are in favor of welcoming immigrants from Central and South America into other people's neighborhoods.
The study showed that Democrats are very pro-immigration as long as the immigration is to areas very far away from themselves.
"We found that 92% of liberal Americans are 'strongly in favor' of as many immigrants as possible moving into the country, as long as they never have to see them or deal with them in person," said the study's lead researcher, Dr. Henry Bollickson. "When we posed the question of whether immigrants should be welcomed with open arms into other people's areas, Democrats were strongly in favor of that idea. But when we posed the question of whether immigrants should be welcomed into one's own city, neighborhood, or home, the number of Democrats in favor of that idea went down dramatically."
"This just goes to show that Democrats are some of the most loving and welcoming people, as long as other people are doing the, you know, loving and welcoming."
At publishing time, sources had also confirmed that a majority of Democrats are in favor of raising taxes to pay for social programs, as long as the taxes are paid by other people." https://babylonbee.com/news/poll-most-d ... ighborhood

Btw, back in the day, as it is today, they never identified themselves as communists. There's an ideological purpose to that.
Now they are "woke", "progressive", and for those daring enough--- "democratic socialist".
Same cat, same stripes.
Re: You gotta love communists...bless their hearts!
There's an ideological purpose to that. In simple terms, because according to marxist-leninist theory communism is the end-all-be-all. The East Germans never got to that stage, neither the Soviets, nor the Bulgarians, and Venezuela and Cuba are still merely socialist republics. Waiting for Godot...

Stop humanizing communists. They're beneath that level.

Question.
During the Cold War, no card-carrying, toilet paper hoarder, banana-eating, Lada-driving member of a communist party provided collaboration and assistance to the US and allies.
