That's not "pseudo-communism," though, that's just capitalism for the bourgeoisie.

Word play on the "they get free stuff in communism" schtick.

Kinda? Communism is about satisfying the needs of everyone through sound economic planning and collectivized production, what you are describing is someone getting vast riches for free just because they own stuff. I'm being nitpicky, I'm aware.

I was being facetious. Pseudo in my mind at the time was not serious. Again, right wingers think communism/socialism is when you "get free stuff".
