What a Stalin Biography Tells Us About Our Time

"We go forward to the complete elimination of money," Grigory Zinoviev explained to German socialists in 1920. "We pay wages in commodities. We introduce trolleys without fares. We have free public schools, free, if temporarily poor, meals, rent-free apartments, free lighting.
"We are realizing all this," he went on, "very slowly, under the most difficult conditions. We have to fight ceaselessly, but we have a way out, a plan." The early Soviets sound very much like the Democratic Socialists of America.
Compare DSA co-chairwoman Megan Romer talking about people having "democratic control" of their workplaces, housing, "everybody having a union," "the working class being in charge of the means of production."

If Russians saw a long line, they would get on it not knowing what was there. They knew it was something they needed and if not it was something they could trade for something them needed.

None of these ideas are new.
There’s many factions of “socialism” though.
There’s the ones that believe in total govt which are tyrannical in nature. Then there’s the ones that believe in no govt, no private property, no money, no hierarchy.
They’re the ones at a minimum that need to be quarantined from society first. They’re not compatible with capitalists the most. They push queer Marxism, which is the root of woke.
