The authoritarians don't do that, we do. You think Stalin was out there laying track?

He was calling for the deaths of the delivery driver whose load broke because of poor manufacturing quality.

It's the shit rolls down principle. The plant manager may have tuned the machine for say panes of glass to be 1mm thinner to stretch out supply and meet demand. This made it more fragile. While in transport the glass breaks, they blame the driver and send him to the gulag instead of the manager. Based on laws and expectations Stalin would have them summarily executed because he would blame the driver as well.

I have no idea how that concept relates to the present discussion. Sounds like really shit management yeah.

Pointing out Stalin was the enemy of the working man too.
