Fred Koch came back from building oil wells and refineries for Stalin, much enamored with Stalin

For instance the USSR was on a 100% gold standard where one ruble was worth .9851 grams fine gold.The Soviet Citizen could not redeem a ruble, but a foreigner could by presenting it to their window to the world, the NordBank in Paris, and trying to sneak rubles out of Russia was a felony if not a capital offense if Russian.

His art 12 of the 1936 Constitution reads, essentially, "if you don't work you don't eat"

He also criminalized abortions

Stalin's Russia and Ayn Rand, which wasn''t much different, are the Kochian ideals for America.
