#2 "Prices of basic foods in private markets have increased substantially - theyâre beyond the means of many people..."

Wait a minute... is he trying to suggest that in this worker's utopia that they are not beyond the means of SOME people? Whatever happened to "From each according to his ability to each according to his needs?"

Something tells me it met up with "All people are equal, some are just more equal than others."

#10 This was inevitable: you strip the bark off a tree long enough, it dies. You cut the grass too low, it dies.
