    I don’t have any sources to hand rn, I’m at work. But I know that in the USSR, if you were unemployed the government would literally find you a job. They had basically zero unemployment. Capitalism requires a permanent army of surplus workers (unemployed people) to keep wages low with the threat of “hey, it could be worse, you could be one of THOSE PEOPLE if you don’t take $5 an hour!”. Socialism not so much.
