communist party

private property owning class

If there's no exploitation, and if everyone can voluntarily join the communist party and the unions (and is encouraged to do so), how can you say there was an owning class?

Because there's always one. Name one county where there isn't a owning class

Ok, so in the USSR, the country with no exploitation of labor and which promoted membership of party and unions, the owning class was the working class, right? Or are you gonna do some mental gymnastics to say it was the politician class?

I'm looking forward to your mental gymnastics on how the Kronstadt rebellion were the bad guys
