It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

I.V. Dzhugashvili, my favorite Georgian philosopher and political activist.

    An edit would go hard, I think, but you still gotta let people know it's actually Stalin, otherwise they think we are trying to trick people rather than demystify him.
