Stalin did everything he could to stop the revolution. When the anarchists successfully threw Franco and the rich bastards to the streets (with little initial bloodshed at first) they put all of the power to the workers and the trade unions. Everything went right back to normal as far as working and production. the factories went back online. Employment shot up because the system was no longer based on profit. The people who were working before the revolution now didnt have to work as hard because they had plenty of help. I heard one story of a factory where the union set up a big meeting and invited the old bosses and owners. The union told the bosses that many more workers would be hired (something like 100). The bosses said "thats 100 people too many." the unions look at the 5 or so bosses and said "no, apparently we have FIVE too many." and sent them out the door for refusing to cooperate. Lets look at how these greedy bastards do it:
5 people in a company. One is the owner, one is the boss, 3 are regular workers.
Get rid of one worker, take his pay and give 80% of it to the owner and 20% of it to the boss in raises and bonuses, and scare the crap out of the two existing workers to make them glad they still have their jobs. You might even convince them to take a pay cut to keep their jobs.
