Shit, if my employer wants to yell at me all day and call me a worthless piece of shit while giving me enough money to cover all of my most immediate expenses and many frivolous ones, I'll take that. I'll certainly take that over working my ass off only to die of starvation because no food is available at any price.

I don't see the USSR as having any respect for anyone's dignity who wasn't part of the inner circle. Have a religion - gulag, say something against party line - gulag, educate your kids - gulag, want a different job than the one assigned to you - gulag, work not hard enough -gulag, work too hard you make others look bad - gulag.
