It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty"...
“It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”
― Joseph Stalin
there is a reason stalin is one of the most revered communist of all time. we in the west love to judge about authoritarianism but we will never know what its like to be invaded by 10+ groups simultaneously while just previously the multi party structure was tearing apart the government under lenin.
