Kamala Harris published this video recently:
It is the essence of Communism, the ideology that has failed every time it has been put into practice.
A system that by it's very nature leads to rule by an elite of "the best and brightest" with the expectation that they will make equality of outcome prevail over equality of opportunity...for everyone else.
It invariably turns into the most oppressive system, which rewards conformity and punishes individual exceptionalism, (unless it is exceptionalism in support of the "leadership" class).
It results in the imprisonment and death of anyone who refuses to conform, breaks away from norms, seeks personal advancement, profit, or any other measure of individual success.
If you run faster, then you must be hobbled to let the slowest keep up.
Imagine "Harrison Bergeron" in actual practice:
That is what you voters on the Left really want?
