`from each according to his ability, to each according to his need'
Communists, are so love with this concept, and true love is blind, that they find irrelevant to consider what the less obvious consequences of this may be.
Firstly, the worker will soon discover it a unnecessary expenditure of energy to perform labor above that of his colleagues. The result is a `slow down' in work. The slow down is nationwide, resulting in a decline in output. In order to counter this, since the carrot is discouraged as evil, the stick must be employed! Nationwide beatings commence to punish those responsible for not being far sighted enough to see beyond their immediate gratification and comfort, and, for the good of the nation, the responsible agitators are found and dealt with! But there is a problem. New agitators appear! How can this be? The more agitators who are shot, and the harsher the measures, the more that output seems to suffer! The CIA must have infiltrated, sowing dissent. There is only one solution...
Mass executions.
These commence, stirring terror within the populace. This will teach them to listen to enemy propaganda. But hang, on it's not working! Output continues to decline. Seeing an angle, Mr Stalin finds a solution. The leaders of the workers commitees are found to have acted in a treasonous fashion. They are executed and the country is left with one ruler, and everyone lives happily ever after.
Thanks for listening! ;D
