CHAPTER 4 ECONOMIC TERMS
and deception, by a series of lies offered to the people by lying politicians.
For the sake of the purist, is there any difference between Socialism and
Communism? The absence of any essential differences was explained thus:
"There is no economic difference between socialism and communism. Both
terms... denote the same system. ... public control of the means of produc-
tion as distinct from private control. The two terms, socialism and commu-
nism, are synonyms."
This position was confirmed by no less a Communist luminary than
Marshal Tito, the now deceased dictator of the Yugoslavian Communist
government, who said: "Communism is simply state capitalism in which the
state has absolute ownership of everything including all the efforts of the
people." 13
Notice that Marshal Tito has confirmed that everything, including the
efforts of the people, becomes a Capital Good under Communism. Perhaps
this is the sole difference between these two economic systems: the Commu-
nists readily admit that the human itself is a Capital Good, and the Socialist
conceals it. But in both systems, the individual and all he produces belongs
to the state.
Most Communists have made this point abundantly clear in their
writings. Karl Marx, the so-called "father of modern Communism," once
wrote: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." 14
This basic tenet of Communism has become a principle of the Russian
Constitution, which states: "Article 12: In the U.S.S.R. work is a duty and a
matter of honor for every able bodied citizen in accordance with the
principle: 'He who does not work shall not eat.' The principle applied in the
U.S.S.R. is that of Socialism: 'From each according to his ability, to each
according to his work.' 15
It is interesting that the last word of Marx's dictum has been changed
from "need" to "work." Notice that if one doesn't work, one doesn't eat. How
does this system provide for those unable to work? This question has been
answered by others, one of whom has stated mat these individuals would be
"executed in a kindly manner." Others have suggested that they should
commit suicide (become a "lishnetzy.") In other words, to restate the
principle, when a Capital Good becomes unable to produce, it is discarded,
even if that Capital Good is a human being.
Once the Socialist/Communist decides that the state exists to divide
Consumption Goods and Capital Goods, then it behooves him to involve
himself with politics. Sam Brown, President Jimmy Carter's director of
ACTION, the voluntary agency, is one who has discovered this truth. He
said: "Politics is a struggle to redistribute power and wealth." 16
Notice that Mr. Brown admitted that this political process of goods
redistribution is a "struggle," which means that some will not want to give
