And I think growing up like that, you're trying to sort out what's true.

You're trying to figure out, like, is there any merit to what mom's saying the world is or any merit to what dad's saying the world is?

And I think dad was more persuasive and better at pulling me his direction because I never really absorbed.

Like, I always thought Marxism was, you know, faking gay and stupid.

I just never bought into it at all.

Why at an early age did you think that?

Because I already had seen that, you know, we're not all born equal with equal things.

And some people work much harder.

Some people have natural gifts and talents.

And to think that... Because my mother would literally say stuff in the house, like, from, you know, from each person according to their ability to each person according to their need.

And I was like...

Even when I do that in class, like if there's a group project, everybody wants me on their team because I'm the smart kid who's going to do the homework.

I end up doing everything and everybody else gets the A even though I did everything.

Those are the people that are really into socialism.

Yes.

The people that have fast stuff.

Yes.

Yeah.

And so like from being a little kid, I even noticed like, no, things aren't equal and things aren't always fair and –

It depends on, you know, your natural skills and abilities and then what you do with those things because there's lots of people... Like, my mother was super talented, really intelligent person, but she was so, like, emotionally chaotic.
