They really like misreading the "those who don't work will not eat" quote as Stalin saying he wants to do a famine (even though it was Lenin saying the bourgeoisie will have to work).
They also refuse to read any further than that line in the Soviet Constitution lmao. Totally ignoring the universal healthcare, paid leave, and early retirement.
Agreed, this is accounted for in the Soviet bill of rights on page 7 I think. Everyone is guaranteed paid vacation and the workday is limited to 7 hours for professions where that is possible.
There is also clearly laid out welfare policies for those unable to work and a retirement policy and maternity leave. They even include stipulations that revreation and medical care development is the duty of the state so workers have places to vacation and relax...
Like, the main issue with the USSR was that the welfare system was so good that millions of people just stopped working hard.

It's almost like that T's not to be taken 100% literally. Lennin probably didn't mean infants or 93 year olds either.
