About Property and Equality of People

The Utopians dream for people equality since ancient times. Why people should be equal? Obviously we are not each other identical. What motivate us is what we do not have. To demonstrate the inequality of people is not the purpose of this article.

Both communism and some kinds of socialism upheld the notion that private property is evil, because private property benefits one group of people over another, giving rise to domination through the use of property rights.

The communist word for this is exploitation. The solution for exploitation was to take the state power, socialize all properties and destroy the unhappy formal owners, the bourgeoisie, and make all equals. I call it a violent social revenge; they called it the dictatorship of the proletariat. So far the communist solution of this problem was to make people equal in poverty.

I was five years old in 1947 when after WWII, in the Russian occupied the communist dictatorship of the proletariat started. The people with properties or money in the bank were the enemy. I saw the first conversion of the money. They say the king picture on the money do not mach with the new Republic symbols. The exchange was meant to make cash on hand worthless. The total amount exchanged was limited to one month living expenses. Everybody has to work for small retribution that will never make rich people again, but the work around was to become a privileged person. We the kids played games with worthless coins for years after that. We remember that time and understand more now.
