RKS Literature: The Necessity of Slave Labour in the USSR and the Future of Socialism (Vladimir Rott)

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“The abolition of private property killed people’ s desire to create, to take care of themselves, to seek paths to survival and progress. The most essential part of any country’s gross national product-the contribution of each individual’s enthusiasm-was lost. By sending hundreds of thousands of Soviet people to the labour camps, the state tried to make up for this loss by using slave labour.

The logical answer to this situation was a common joke people told each other while looking cautiously over their shoulder:

“What will happen if you build socialism in the Sahara Desert?”

“The first thirty years nothing much. Then there will be acute shortages of sand…”:

Vladimir Rott, “In Defiance of Fate Book 1 Joy From Sadness”, 2009.
