I see no difference between the Hammer and Sickle or the Swastika.

Karl Marx said, and it's a popular slogan among Socialist: "Each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". It sounds really good until you discover what it really means in Marx’s writings and in all the Socialist literature up to this present day. In fact, a friend brought me a flyer back from a 2016 Bernie Sanders rally, he was so shocked by it he instantly abandoned support for Sanders, I wish I could find it and post it.

In the flyers all the usual utopian ideas were espoused but also another Socialist policy was espoused, one that harkened back to the early 20th Century and that was the Socialist and Progressive policy of Eugenics. That is that only those who are productive to the goals of the Socialist State are allowed to live in the Socialist Society.

Now to understand this policy that is fundamental to the Ideology of Marx and indeed in all Socialism, we must read the writings of the Socialist George Bernard Shaw and others.

George Bernard Shaw speaking of the Socialist Utopia, he said:

"Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well.”

"The notion that persons should be safe from extermination as long as they do not commit willful murder, or levy war against the Crown, or kidnap, or throw vitriol, is not only to limit social responsibility unnecessarily, and to privilege the large range of intolerable misconduct that lies outside them, but to divert attention from the essential justification for extermination, which is always incorrigible social incompatibility and nothing else."

"We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment …
A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them."

"The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?"

You can also read the writings of G.D.H. Cole, Sidney Webb, his wife Beatrice Webb, of Harold Laski, H.G. Wells.

H.G. Wells another Socialist, a fact not well known, said of the Socialist State, which they titled as the New Republic, for which the modern Leftist magazine is named: "For a multitude of contemptible and silly creatures, fear-driven and helpless and useless, unhappy or hatefully happy in the midst of squalid dishonour, feeble, ugly, inefficient, born of unrestrained lusts, and increasing and multiplying through sheer incontinence and stupidity, the men of the New Republic will have little pity and less benevolence.”

"The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worthwhile.”

As Lenin said, "The goal of Socialism is Communism”
