Could have said I won't zap because I'm poor and can't afford it. Is that the case, I don't know...

I heard someone else refer to Communism as "economics of envy" also... Is that a fameous quote, or just sort of a common saying?

I don't know. I thought I'd just made it up. 😅

I am not a communist but that doesn't sound right. Why envy?

You begrudge people their wealth and see it as a reason to treat them worse.

I am still confused. I can't relate communism with envy. Communists tend to be very authoritarian. Envy for me, goes hand in hand with capitalism and competition mentality.

You are confusing envy with greed, I think.

No communists have greed for power for example.
