I think it isn’t going to be that effective a phrase. People don’t understand why having lots of money (hoarding wealth) is a bad thing, necessarily, and it sort of implies that, if they were to just spend it it’d make the initial hoarding fine.
Gotta also focus on the fact that they essentially stole that money from workers through labor exploitation. The bare fact that they got the money to begin with is the problem, not just them holding onto it. If they were to spend it all on horrible capitalist enterprises rather than hoarding it, that’d be even worse. Even if they spent it all on “philanthropic” efforts, that’s still worse than the workers having their fair share and the government being able to actually have that money to spend on social programs through taxes.
I have a couple of relatives who lived in the USSR and they were also very happy with their lives there. They liked that they had all their needs met by virtue of being a citizen, they had a good standard of living no matter what kind of job they did, they got tons of vacation time and the government would pay for them to go on vacation.
I think they believed in the socialist project more broadly, but they weren’t as ideological as this woman seems to be. I think they were socialists because of what socialism could do for them rather than champions of the revolutionary cause or whatever. That’s part of the beauty of a post revolutionary, functional state: people have the luxury of not caring about politics so much if they don’t want to.
Also, idk if it’s just the editing, but grandaughter is disrespectful as hell and needs to be hit with a sandal
