The vague idea of getting the same as everyone else, while not having to actually make the effort, appeals to sheltered and unappreciative western kids who feel oppressed because they have to put down thier entertainment device and do thier maths homework.
Borderline champagne socialists
Is that so? People in the early days of the Soviet Union were doing math far beyond their Western counterparts, for free, and they grew up to fight Nazis. I guess they were just priviledged little kids reading books who were begging to have everything for free without trying. Liberating Auschwitz was just a bunch of sheltered rich kids crying about not getting free cake after dinner.....
