 This is a good analysis but as you explained to yourself in the note: it isn't about the communalism or sharing or whatever the hell they market it with. It is weaponized envy by a ruling class to institute a totalitarian political system.  A system with which to enslave a population. Happens everywhere it was tried in tight correlation to the degree it was implemented. As others have quoted: "the purpose of a system is what it does"
