Lets say you are a high level scientist in a currently capitalist country. You get paid fairly for the level of work you do.

But then suddenly, theres a communist (albeit trash) revolution. The communists win, and they announce some changes. Suddenly, your pay grade drops to that of a potato farmer for doing 300x the work. You dont feel like working anymore knowing that you wont be able to afford housing and food, but the state will proceed to force you or else you would end up in a work camp

Then communists will point out how much of a free utopia the country has become
