A bit of a long one this time:
"This was his speech to Kokoios:
'Listen,if everybody is employed by he state,it's obvious
that everyone gets paid by the state,yes? So all the tax that
comes back to the stateis money that came from the state
in the first place, yes? So the state only ever gets back maybe
one third of what it paid out last week. So this week the
only way to pay everyone is to print more money, no? So it
follows that in a Communist state the money very soon
becomes imaginary, because the state has nothing for that
money to represent.'
He envisages Kokolios riposting thus: 'Ah, Iatre, the
missing money comes from profits,'and then, quick as a
flash, he would come back with,'But look, Kokolio', the
only way the state can get a profit is by selling goods
abroad, and the only way that this can happen is if the
foreign states are capitalist and have a surplus from their
taxes to buy things with. Or else you've got to sell to capi-
talist companies. So it's obvious that Communism cannot
survive without capitalism, and this makes it self-sontradic-
tory, because Communism is supposed to be internationalist.
It follows from my argument that if the whole world went
Communist, the entire economy of the globe would grind to
a halt within the space of a week. What do you say to that?"
