Not surprised it’s RFE, but I initially understood it as a joke. It definitely reads like something Stalin would say in response to a ridiculous Nazi propaganda claim like “the party members are eating like kings while the workers starve!”
Overall I’m glad he kept it mostly balanced and avoided the blatant Nazi rhetoric taught in most American schools. Even explaining the tiered ration system in a way that made it clear it was a logical decision instead of some evil communist declaration.
But damn dude, using that RFE quote after saying “even the US president abided by rations” is a bit stupid.
