Loot Thy Neighbor

The Nomenklatura feels that wealth, the product of actual thought and labor, belongs not to the persons who created it but to the Collective as a whole.  When the Nomenklatura want to grab something they'll simply proclaim that desired object was unearned by the rightful owner or was otherwise stolen and grab it.  And they'll kill the rightful owner if they have to.  Given sufficient time and motivation the Nomenklatura will if they're consistently acting in accordance to their own theory even attack the bums who're begging at the roadside for the loose change in their pockets.  After all, they didn't earn that paltry sum of money either.

The fact of the matter is that the ideologies of Collectivism were nothing more than an attempt to give the appearance of legitimacy to old school savagery.  Which is basically the neolithic practice of beating up or killing people and taking their stuff.

Progressive is now a synonym for Barbarian and Murderer.
