If pigs could vote, they would vote for the guy that feeds and shelters them.
It doesn't bother them if he's fattening them up for a trip to the
slaughterhouse.

The older people who claimed to love the old soviet system grew up in an
artificially generated financial and social system.  People didn't care how
inept or incompetent their leaders are because they could scrounge enough to f
eed nearly everyone.  The people they woudln't feed were sent off to labor
camps in Sibera for political reasons.  Everyone appears happy if you hide
the unhappy people.
