Example

We, of the Karl Marx party, think that there should be no such thing as income inequality and are against it. For income inequality to become an “intolerable” power, i.e. a power against which men make a revolution, it must necessarily have rendered the great mass of humanity “propertyless,” and produced, at the same time, the contradiction of an existing world of wealth and culture. Therefore, we want an honest division in wealth and income and a strict communist regime in which all individuals earn the same amount of money.
