How communism works

communism

The Five-Year Plans for the National Economy of the USSR (Russian: пятилетка, Pyatiletka) were a series of nation-wide centralized exercises in rapid economic development in the Soviet Union. The plans were developed by the Gosplan based on the Theory of Productive Forces that was part of the general guidelines of the Communist Partyfor economic development. Fulfilling the plan became the watchword of Soviet bureaucracy. (See Overview of the Soviet economic planning process) The same method of planning was also adopted by most other communist states, including the People’s Republic of China, and India‘s pro-Soviet government in the 1950–60s. In addition, severalcapitalist states have emulated the concept of central planning, though in the context of a market economy, by setting integrated economic goals for a finite period of time. Thus are found “Seven-year Plans” and “Twelve-Year Plans”.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

poem: baby tears

A baby crying
what troubles you ?
what draws your tears ?
in twenty years
more or less
you’ll have an explanation
it’ll all be understood
those tears will be gone
and you’ll wonder
what they were for
you’ll miss those tears
and
you’ll want them back.
