What if everybody in your community didn't want to work in the factory?
Who would force them to work? If the residents of a community had all
the food they needed, clothes, shelter, and intellectual stimulation,
which carrot or stick is going to be offered to get them to spend time
in a factory?

Are we going to produce pots and pans or automobiles?

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said,
"I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly
Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s
unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’
and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking
hands when a truck hit us."
