Why do communists destroy or buy out the 'petite' bourgeoisie, or the small shopkeeper, while the elite remain as pampered as ever?

a true communist state doesn't do this but if you are refering to russia or even china they are persuing a free market economy which has its roots in capitalism... thats why we see what you suggest in those countries but still on a far smaller scale than nations like america that rely on late stage capitalism still.

Because the elite are in league with them and few in number, this easier to bribe

You think this is any different with British Imperialism? Do some research

[Jaysonava]

Did I say I was a British imperialist?

You live in New Zealand, lol you didn't have to

[Jaysonava]

Well I left to the USA. I guess I have to go all the way back to England and stay in Dorset where my ancestors are from to redeem myself

Because they think they're going to be welcomed into the elite group for their loyalty.

[FunkyMonkee]

No idea. I haven't a clue what a bourgeoisie is.

[anylolone]

Because the elite funds the communists.
