The quote is by Gustavo Gordillo, co-Chair of the NYC-DSA. It is a throwback to Barry Oba'a, who said in 2010, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." It is a communist anthem to limit personal profit, which would be signal that anyone ought to consider the sky as the only personal limit to which a good communist should aspire. A limit, because communism cannot thrive in an environment of personal wealth.


That last is a joke, because communism does not know how to thrive, period. Where it has been imposed, it has never exceeded one human life expectancy. Never.


One does not ever see an imposed limitation on a free-market economy.


Why do communists think limited potential is such a preferred existence?

Communism doesn’t compete with Taoism because their goals are identical.No double digit returns on your investment.

Communism embraced capitalism just to compete with the western world.

Sage... is like water which benefits all.


I did not say that all gains are righteous gains, just as not all water is beneficial to all. Some water's filth poisons, thus beneficial to no one.


But I was not talking about righteous and unrighteous gain, nor comparing communism to any other philosophy. I was talking about the aim of communism, specifically to limit gain. What other philosophies say about interest earned on investment is what they say.

When China began to embrace capitalism it became a world economy. The roi was worth the risk.
