Notes for communist revolutionaries:
If you don’t use an iron fist, your detractors will say you use an iron fist to crush dissent and they will manipulate the will of the people against you. After you fail and your supporters are rounded up and executed, they’ll blame the failure on your ruthless authoritarianism.

But, it is good to have mindful consumer habits. One tip I try to follow when I want to make a superfluous big purchase is, once I decide I want something, I wait 1 day for every $100 it costs.
