Lol, a working class family is forced to work to not lose their home, oh that communism!

In October 2008, responding to a dramatic increase in such evictions since 2006, Tom Dart, the elected Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, decided to take a stand on the issue. He criticized mortgage companies for failing to fulfill their obligation to identify renters in foreclosed properties, and announced that he was suspending all foreclosure evictions immediately. The Illinois Banker's Association accused Dart of engaging in "vigilantism".[32]

    It got a trove of fun quips that hit capitalism more than communism. It is all projection.

    Of course most parents in capitalism working have trouble seeing their kids, too. With the added benefit of not having enough money for them to go to school properly. However the comic panel is even more fitting for UK boarding schools:

    Most (UK) schools that offer boarding have three distinct models: Full boarding (kids are at the boarding school i.e. Eton the whole year, except for potentially the holidays), Weekly boarding (kids can be at home over the weekend), Flexi-boarding (kids can be at home up to 7 times a week, but for plays and rehearsals and during exam period they stay in school)

    Among the bourgeois in some places, kids go to boarding schools and only come home to see their family on the weekends. When I worked at a Taiwanese cram school, I knew a lot high school kids like this.
