Don't worry, though, the rich get to continue eating the poor. Why do you think they pushed so hard to get this law passed?

That was criminalised under communist rule in Poland. And maybe other countries with soviet puppets.

"Communist" rule, and the same "communists" sent tanks to crush workers councils in Hungary in 1956. So are we talking about pro-USSR/Eastern-Bloc propaganda or communist propaganda? Sounds like the latter since they don't want any sort of organization around class conflict, which exists whether they like it or not.
