	As someone who grew up in a communist country with literally zero rich prople - it’s not about wealth, it’s about power and influence. We’ve had just as many, if not way more, people above law as in capitalist countries.

Putin is rumored to be the richest person in the world, but of course you’ll never see him listed on Forbes because he hides it.

Putin doesn’t live in a communist country.

During communism dignitaries didn’t have much money-wealth, or even true material wealth. But they were powerful nevertheless.
