Why did bourgeois people create communism? Isn't that kind

Communists are simultaneously accused of being rich bourgeois hypocrites and bitter poor lazy losers. Make up your mind, anti-communists.

bourgeois are the type which benefit under communism because they are able to get in on the ponzi sooner so they aren't the suckers out in the fields or fasting.

>Why did bourgeois people create communism?

Poor people don’t start revolutions, they’re too poor and uneducated to much more than riot, which the Powers That Be can easily suppress.

Middle class people on the other hand, grow up in relative comfort and have access to education, yet aren’t part of the upper ruling class and thus understand the problem and are capable of coming up with a solution.

In the case of Communism, the solution wasn’t viable, as the system eliminates personal desire (or at least attempts to) and that’s just not going to work, as it’s human instinct to make a better life for yourself and your children.

Intellectuals support communism because it gives them jobs. Someone needs to staff all those planning commissions. Since intellectuals have a lot of cultural prestige, a few bourgeois who don't know what they are doing become pro-communist too.

Only bored wealthy people have time to sit around dreaming up retarded hypothetical political and economic systems that could never possibly work in the real world.

Wrong. The poor have nothing to lose.

Sure, but poor people don't have the education or means of actually changing the system, all they can do is riot.

The proletariat can't achieve class consciousness on their own. They need an educated vanguard to lead them.

Predictably, this leads to problems as the intellectuals themselves become rent-seeking elites too but that's a story for another day.

The Russian Revolution proves you wrong.

This entire post is ad homonims and strawmans with no substance behind it

There's never been a revolution started by the lowest class of society

Russian Revolution was led by intellectuals. In the February Revolution (the "real" revolution) it was led by Socialist Revolutionaries intelligentsia. The October Uprising was by Bolsheviks who weren't peasants

The only difference between riot and revolution is scale. Poor people overwhelmingly are the ones starting revolutions/riots/turmoil in general.

True, but they were industrial workers, the proletariat. Also I find it odd that you praise the SRs when they were backed by the peasantry.

No, a riot is anarchy while revolution is violent political change.

As this anon >>2811299 pointed out, the Russian Revolution was lead and controlled by the middle and upper class, the poor and uneducated peasants and workers were simply cannon fodder.

>upper class
They fled or got shot, they controlled nothing
The middle class also lost control after February 1917

Lenin's father, Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov, was from a family of serfs; his ethnic origins remain unclear, with suggestions being made that he was Russian, Chuvash, Mordvin, or Kalmyk.[2] Despite this lower-class background he had risen to middle-class status, studying physics and mathematics at Kazan Imperial University before teaching at the Penza Institute for the Nobility.[3] Ilya married Maria Alexandrovna Blank in mid-1863.[4] Well educated and from a relatively prosperous background, she was the daughter of a German–Swedish woman and a Russian Jewish physician who had converted to Christianity.[5] It is likely that Lenin was unaware of his mother's Jewish ancestry, which was only discovered by his sister Anna after his death.[6] Soon after their wedding, Ilya obtained a job in Nizhny Novgorod, rising to become Director of Primary Schools in the Simbirsk district six years later. Five years after that, he was promoted to Director of Public Schools for the province, overseeing the foundation of over 450 schools as a part of the government's plans for modernisation. His dedication to education earned him the Order of St. Vladimir, which bestowed on him the status of hereditary nobleman.[7]

Engels was a rich bourgeois hypocrite.
Marx was a poor and bitter loser.

86.5% of workers voted Bolshevik. I don't deny there were some of higher classes, but the great mass of the movement, which gave it its strength in the civil war, was comprised of workers.

So people come to communism for many reasons.

Sure, but they weren't the ones calling the shots, (they were too busy busting their asses in factories and farms 16 hours a day) the middle class bourgeois were.
