One of the guys reporting to me spent 2 years in Russia. We were talking about this stuff yesterday on the phone and he stated that as long as they have Vodka to drink, girl to f*** and food to eat, they are happy. They know the rulers rule, and as long as theyhave those three things, they are happy.
At that point I had an epiphany: This is the way thing have been forever. The peseants toil, and are rewarded with life, food and drink. Up until recently, they wouldn't even be called upon to fight, since that was the job of the rulers and the armies. Socialism, the state taking care of you, is just a different name for serfdom.
