This looks like a communist poster.
Current conditions differ.
Football supporters for instance will pay through the nose to watch their highly paid team to play.
Communism is even worse: a steeper and narrower pyramid. Non-existent middle class. The people at the bottom have no hope. The people at the top have no security.
Those with skills are now at the top. From football players ( sportsmen), pop stars, tech, anyth8ng. If you are top in your category, you command best premium.
