bullshit, it was a society where you couldn't be paid low as much as you could work less. for being average, underperforming or exceptional, you would reap the same rewards as state-gifted apartments and free holidays. on top of that it was practically impossible to be fired except if you criticise the state, the "great leader" and the party.  of course, 50+ years of that bullshit system has lobotomised the population into state-relaying proles who lack any ethics, creativity and productivity.
