Summary

This quote suggests that while property under capitalism involves the exploitation of the weak by the strong, communism flips this dynamic by involving the strong being exploited by the weak. It implies that communism strives for a system where the benefits of resources are shared equally among all individuals, but in doing so, it may not successfully eliminate inequality. The quote highlights the different forms of exploitation under both capitalist and communist systems.
