worker collective

you've been a good party member, arkady.
thank you, comrade chairman.
but, unfortunately, not good enough.
what do you mean?
we've had to cut your ration this month.
why?
the new party official ordered it.
but, comrade. from each according to his abilities. . .
yes, and to each according to his needs, I know.
was karl marx wrong?
oh no! but some needs are needier than others.
that's part of our manifesto?
well, since the new guy showed up, it is.
can I give you a piece of advice, comrade?
what's that, arkady?
don't stick too close to the new guy.
no? why not?
political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
hmmm. I think I get it.
good.
