This weird Calvinist "You must live maximally pure ascetic lives to be in the elect" is a brainworm US leftists need to drop. Kropotkin was a leftist, Engles was a leftist. Class traitors exist, rich workers exist.
All this guy did was buy a fucking nice house for him and his extended family, and his brother's family.
To some people you never stop being royalty since it's in your divinely annointed blood, therefore even without living in the forbidden palace, Emperor Puyi was still the Emperor of China and a goddamn commie!
Henry Puyi was a weak man whose reign led to hard times. He did whatever anyone told him to do, which is how he ended up as a puppet of the Japanese. He couldn't even get girls either, when it was time for him to have a wife he went to a high school and kidnapped one of them. What a loser.
If socialists won't practice what they preach, then who will? Socialism is as much a moral argument as an economic one; if the opinion leaders won't follow their own advice then it's just going to feed these Fox News chuds with ammunition, and they'll say the whole socialist movement is just a grift like Jimmy Falwell.
Playing by your enemies rules works out great! Just ask your old pal Baked Potato Johnson how his divorce went after he signed a prenup his exwife wrote!

The last fucking Emperor of China was a communist.

Not while being an emperor though.

What part of socialism is against personal home ownership? Cuba has one of the highest rates of home ownership in the world.
Luxury home ownership is the issue here. It's very bad optics. It looks a lot like joining the enemy, or at least giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Serious "Bernie has a Dacha" vibes here.
We're never going to win if we subscribe to the same moral calculus as the enemy. The point is to destroy capitalist morality, not beat them at it.
It's not bad optics we all deserve luxury homes luxury homes are good optics
