There's a huge difference between guaranteeing everyone who wants a job a job, and forcing everyone in the entire country's population to work for the government while setting their salaries the same and not rewarding productivity.

I have no desire to defend the Soviet Union, but out of curiosity, do you think our current system rewards productivity? I'm thinking along the lines of the movie "Office Space".

I don't know much about the USSR, but I don't think they set everyone's salaries the same or distributed money equally, or any other nonsense like that.
