    I believe it stems from their often rich background. They’ve got it too easy, they never have to work or struggle to make ends meet, makes them feel guilty (and rightfully so, might I add).

    If that one doesn’t fit, there’s always “communism is an ideology of envy”

        Well that’s the neat thing: depending on where you draw the line pretty much anyone can be either poor and envious or rich and hypocritical. A flexible way of dismissing radical change, if ever there were one.

        With a little ‘lazy’ garnish on top, I’d say it’s an effective reactionary recipe. Subtle but compelling.
