>Hard work
Nothing is more annoying than capitalists claiming a monopoly over hard work. When the picture of Jeff Bezos in his run-down garage went viral everybody was praising him as a hard worker, as if his work in bringing about Amazon is any more noble or conscientious than the work of the millions of his employees, managers, accountants, lawyers, computer programmers, engineers, builders, labourers, sales managers, financial advisors, etc.
Jeff Bezos' "hard work" would amount to nothing if it were not for his workforce, yet for some reason capitalists think he is justified in taking the profits of his workforce all for himself and doing with them whatever he pleases.
Capitalists call those in the lower rungs of society leeches and moochers but they say nothing of those bourgeois business owners who sail in their yacht all day while their bank account fills up from the labour that their WORKFORCE exerts.
If the workers willed it they could rise up and count the fruit of their labour as their own and do with it as they please. That is the essence of Marxism.
>resent the rich
The rich are just a product of the capitalist system under which we live. When counted as a group we can say that they have a decidedly negative influence on the world. However the individual rich person is not to be excoriated; rather we should direct our sights towards the oppressive capitalist system of which they are a product.
>Why do commies feel entitled ti get gibs from big gubment?
Communism implies a stateless society, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. As for "getting gibs": Marxism has always been for the workers, who do work, not get gibs.
>social democracy
Social democracy is capitalism. It is probably the best form of capitalism in that it promotes social mobility and egalitarianism but it is capitalism nonetheless.
