I think you’re referring to variations of a popular saying that criticizes communism. The most common versions are:

“Communists promise heaven but deliver hell”

or

“Communism promises equality but delivers poverty”

There are several similar formulations that circulate on social media:

These sayings are typically used by critics of communism to argue that communist systems historically failed to deliver on their idealistic promises and instead produced the opposite of what they claimed to offer. They’re often shared in political discussions on Twitter/X, especially when discussing historical examples like the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, or contemporary socialist/communist states.

The exact wording varies, but they all follow the same rhetorical structure of contrasting lofty promises with harsh realities. Is there a specific version you’re trying to remember?
