Let me see. Bernie uses 60 accounts to silence everyone who disagrees with him, to remove their rewards and he also upvotes his own scammy posts to the tune of thousands of dollars a day.
Can't get any more Communist than that. Can he?

Yes. Yes he can.
He can literally get “the total amount of ‘more communist’ that someone can get when they are currently no amount of communist whatsoever.”
Because again, in any “not at all communist” systems, you could “use 60 different accounts in which you himd private monetary wealth in order to create and execute a mass public relations campaign that completely and utterly tarnishes a person‘s reputation and image, and causes them to lose every customer, patron, and client of their business. And you can invest in your own product, labor, or output to the tune of millions of dollars a day.”
And none of that would, in any way, shape, or form constitute “communism.“
Not to beat a dead horse, but doing things with your own private property that may have a detrimental effect on lots of other people, is not, under any definition, a kind of “communist activity.”
If a person uses their own wealth and power in order to silence other people rather than countering speech that happens to be disagreeable to them with their own speech attempting to refute the disagreeable speech, then that doesn’t make that person a communist.
It just makes that person a dick.
I’m not educated enough on bots and reward pools and any of that to have any opinion—moral, ethical, or otherwise—on the truth or propriety of that.
I’m open to be educated about it, with, you know, proof and statistics and real information and data on which I can base my opinion.
And please notice, @mitrado, that I did not flag anything you said here (and have not intentionally flagged anything to this day, and will never flag anything in the future).
That doesn’t mean I agree with your comments.
I don’t agree with them at all.
I think they are misinformed, silly, and ignorant.
But I’m confident enough in my opinions and my ability to express them, that I’d much prefer people are able to see the silliness you say and then read my exponentially better response, and then judge for themselves.
They’ll judge me right and you wrong every time.
(They’ll also judge me to be a preening, pedantic, pretentious snob, and they’d be right about that too).
I can’t control what the silly steemit-rich people do around here. I have no affiliation with any of them. And I’ll tell them why they’re wrong when they’re wrong no differently than I’ll tell you, or Mr. Elliot-Wave-Guru.
If that gets me downvoted to -75 (including for my gentle criticism right now—and it is gentle considering what I put out there on our famous Cryptocurrency Astrologer), then I’ll wear it as a badge of honor and continue to criticise ridiculous ideas no matter their source.
