It's easy to stay in power when you have complete control over the news and propaganda machines. Using Venezuela as an example, the country is one of the richest in the world in natural resources, but 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth.

And in most cases, communism just changes who the 1% are and leaves the distribution unchanged.
