49, Reflections 156 - 158 156. The Communist ideology culminates in a scientifically planned society, an ideal state, in which people are recognized, however not in their quality as independent and unique individuals but only as uniform impersonal wheels of state. It is obvious that under these circumstances the degree of appreciation as useful members of the state depends on their participation in the state's employment.
Work is the only standard.
The definition of work is exclusively based on what is profitable for the state, which means, of course, profitable for the leaders. The people's interest comes in the last place. This is an inevitable course of events, so it isn't accidental that for example the former Sowjet-Union's leaders have shamelessly lined their pockets. The interest of the state is immediately the interest of the leaders and the other way round. The Christian ideology on the other hand culminates in an ideal man, which means a real existing perfect individual who is honored with the privilege to live in God's Kingdom.
