Read a random definition: lucre

A quick definition of communism:

Communism is a political idea that says everyone should share everything equally. This means that no one person or group should own more things than anyone else. In a communist society, everyone works together to make things and everyone gets what they need. This is different from capitalism, where some people can own a lot of things and others don't have much. Sometimes, communism can lead to a government that has too much power and controls everything, which is not good.

A more thorough explanation:

Communism is a political and social doctrine that aims to abolish capitalism and establish a society where everyone contributes according to their ability and receives according to their needs. It is based on the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Under communism, there is no private ownership of property or means of production. Instead, everything is owned collectively by the people. The government controls the economy and distributes resources and goods equally among the population.

However, communism has often been associated with totalitarianism, where the government has complete control over all aspects of people's lives. This has led to human rights abuses and lack of individual freedoms.

Examples of communist countries include the former Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and North Korea. In these countries, the government controls all aspects of the economy and society, and individual freedoms are severely restricted.

Overall, communism is a political and social doctrine that seeks to create a classless society where everyone is equal and resources are distributed fairly. However, its implementation has often led to totalitarianism and human rights abuses.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
