What a far cry this is from the American Constitution which says that Congress shall pass<br />
no law abridging the people's right of free speech, religion, peaceful assembly, and so<br />
forth. Not "except as provided by law," but "no law"! What a difference this makes.<br />
According to Marxist doctrine, a human being is primarily an economic creature. In other<br />
words, his material well-being is all important; his privacy and his freedom are strictly<br />
secondary considerations. <strong>The</strong> United Nations Declaration of Human Rights clearly<br />
reflects this philosophy in its emphasis on social security: food, clothing, housing, medical<br />
care, unemployment compensation. In this connection, the UN declaration closely<br />
parallels the Soviet constitution. <strong>The</strong> following comparison should be studied carefully:<br />
SOVIET CONSTITUTION<br />
Article 118: Citizens of the USSR have the<br />
right to work.<br />
Article 120: Citizens of the USSR have the<br />
right to maintenance in old age and also in<br />
case of sickness or disability. This right is<br />
insured by the extensive development of<br />
social insurance of industrial, office and<br />
professional workers at state expense; free<br />
medical service for the working people; and<br />
the provision of a wide network of health<br />
resorts for the use of the working people.<br />
Article 119: Citizens of the USSR have the<br />
right to rest and leisure.<br />
Article 122: [Guarantees] State protection of<br />
the interests of mother and child, State aid<br />
to mothers of large families and to<br />
unmarried mothers, maternity leave with full<br />
pay, and the provision of a wide network of<br />
maternity homes, nurseries, and<br />
kindergartens.<br />
Article 126: Citizens of the USSR are<br />
guaranteed the right to unite in . . . trade<br />
unions.<br />
Article 121: Citizens of the USSR have the<br />
right to education.<br />
UNITED NATIONS DECLARATION<br />
Article 23: Everyone has the right to work.<br />
Article 25: Everyone has the right to . . .<br />
medical care and necessary social<br />
services, and the right to security in the<br />
event of unemployment, sickness, disability,<br />
widowhood, old age, or other lack of<br />
livelihood.<br />
Article 24: Everyone has the right to rest<br />
and leisure.<br />
Article 25 (2): Motherhood and Childhood<br />
are entitled to special care and assistance.<br />
Article 23 (4): Everyone has the right to . . .<br />
