Interesting propaganda. It was the party members who had the smallest rations for the Bolsheviks. A well-known fact. Stalin was the head of state. His wife rode the tram and had no security. Moreover, she did not have a limousine and a driver.
The head of state? It was very strange if the head of state was late for a meeting. Doesn't have security? Especially during the Second World War. He would have been killed.
Even the anarchist Batka Makhno had a personal guard during the war. In a war, when there is an enemy who wants to kill you. Destroy the head of the rival army. Not having a guard is stupid.
Now about the equality of rations. This is propaganda. Even in anarchism under Makhno, they were different. As you work, you will get it. Nestor Makhno said that a working man cannot be hungry! He can't be a beggar. At the same time, a student who is just learning and will benefit in the future. For society, he is a dependent. Yes, he will be fed and supported. Another thing is a person who personally works in the field. He will get more products, more goods. The next point is science. Some scientists bring more marketable benefits than dozens or sometimes hundreds of people. A real benefit here and now. Therefore, their ration must be equal to the benefit brought to society.
A soldier when there is a war. It doesn't produce any products at all. Do you think such a soldier was not fed and kept in Makhno's army? He risked his life. Relatively speaking, I paid the " tax " in blood! Such was the increased ration and maintenance.
