    Because communism never was about equality. It was always about the iron boot in your face.

        What better way to aquire power than siding with the masses against the powerful?

        Siding with powerful against weak masses.

          Thats my point; communists always side with the weak, the notion that communists simply want to obtain power is silly.

            They side with the weak to obtain power, but as CGP Grey said, the keys for keeping power aren’t the same as the keys for obtaining power. You usually turn your back on whoever helped you win once you’re in power, particularly if you’re a dictator (and let’s be honest, “dictatorship of the proletariat” is still dictatorship of the vanguard over the proletariat)
