      Be a poor communist: "You're just salty because you couldn't pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Don't blame capitalism for your own failures."

      Be a well-off communist: "If you're a communist then why aren't you poor? You're just a LARPing hypocrite."

          "You should be grateful for what you have under capitalism. If you lived in a communist country you'd be lining up for bread all day instead of driving your car to work."

        "When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."
