Communist Leaders who live Capitalist lives?
This is abit strange for my First blog... but its something im keen on discussing.
The RED THREAT, as known but most of the Western world, Coined by the Yanks most probably, a political and social system that on paper was perfect but when practiced by us Human Beings becomes a far from perfect system.
This RED THREAT Was fought by the Republic of South Africa in the 70’s and 80’s, and now we find ourselves perhaps endorsing this “RED THREAT”.
As we know, or a couple of us know, The Republic of South Africa is based on a Socialist system, where capitalism and free trade is practiced, but the work force is commanded but unions, the Tripartite alliance its forged between the Ruling Party, COSATU, and the SACP. Both COSATU and the SACP (South African Communist Party) Are Pro Marxist, and follow Marxist rhetoric.

Now my Question is: Why Does the Head Honchos of the Trade Unions and SACP live lavish lifestyles? Ju Ju, “a Man of the People”, Drives an Aston martin, Range Rover Sport, and an AMG Mercedes Benz. I don’t see the average Joe Driving Those unless he’s just won a crossword puzzle competition or something... I have nothing bad to say about living those sort of life styles due to the mere fact that I want just the same, my Problem is with the face that if you are saying you are a man of the people, or a Communist leader for that fact, live the people’s lives... We all know that will never happen, and that is why Communism fails, due to the Fact that the Leaders live well and get all the Spoils and the People Work the Land, and barely have anything to live off, cause the crops are property of the state (Collective Farming). If Communism were ever to work, everyone would have to be equal, and be able to govern the country in a democratic fashion... oh but that’s not Communism?
This Is where socialism comes in, a System derived by the Needs of a Social state, but where everyone has their own possessions, and can and trade freely in a capitalist market. But the leaders will still live “UnSocialistic” Life styles.

That’s just a couple thoughts from the Top of my Head, Tell me your feelings and your ideas on the matter. Remember I’m not saying there is anything wrong with Communism, Its “Perfect” on Paper; we are talking about how the Leaders Reap the Rewards, and the People on the Street Suffer.
