reflect on those words for a few minutes - from each his ability,
to each his need. who determines need? if i need a yacht, who's
going to provide me with it? i'm a network engineer, so i'd be giving a lot more ability than, say, the mail man or a waiter or a lot of other people. still, there will be others whose ability is greater than mine; medical doctors come to mind, as do astrophysicists, etc. however, aside from racking/stacking big switches and routers, my
work is largely non-physical - so would it be said that the garbage man's needs are more important than mine, because he does physical
labour? i chose to do network engineering, and i love my work. i chose to make money with my mind, not my back. i wouldn't, however,
do it for free - not ever. if there's no profit in it, it's not worth doing. if there's no profit to be made, than a network has limited purpose and a limited lifespan. nothing comes for free, and it never will - and that is the fatal flaw of communism. someone will always
have to pay, and it's always been the proles...
