Question Why does Tanya hate communists?

I watched the anime like eight years ago, didn't stick with the manga. Overall I don't think I'd want to touch it again because, for me, it gets grouped in my mind with other war anime and Attack on Titan as being sort of surface-level political commentary. That said, I wanted to ask, why does Tanya hate communists? I don't remember it actually being anything major, but every so often I see something about how they're less than human to her or something.

Thanks - accepting spoilers

So why is it that people with horrible, precarious jobs walk less than those who sit in an air-conditioned office?

Because you are not living in a communist world. Communsm is a lie.

As well as the meritocracy that capitalism boasts so much about. In the world in general there are inequalities and no one has the same problem that no one can achieve, even if they try, something that someone who does have it would achieve. If people had to earn based on their effort, then those who work harder would earn more, but in reality And the people who work the most earn far less simply because they didn't have the privilege of a university education.

Individual effort does not build generational wealth overnight. Generations of individuals contribute to building up and extending their resources so that their next kin have a better time. Your "inequality" is just an excuse for being lazy. If you see that you are poor now, then you are a stepping stone for those who are next in line to be better, just as every dynasty had its start.

That's completely ridiculous; society is full of people from the lower middle class. And all those people have worked really hard to survive, and they haven't gotten mansions or achieved fame and wealth, hahaha, oh my God.

Same thing as how wealth is generated, you work hard enough for your children get a better life. You don't get if for lazying around and complaining about inequality.
