It is 'self-evident' that even to this very day little things like say, skycrapers or huge container ships are not made by 'machines'. They are made by people using tools. Lots of uh, WORKERS, work, for instance, in construction.
But they would not be able to make these things without large amounts of capital, direction, and supervision. So who provides the capital and the supervision? Does the capitalist or the party provide it. And if the party provides, it has to get the capital somewhere, which it usually does by squeezing the peasants, with the result that large numbers of peasants starve. And party supervision, because Moscow is far away, results in shoddy workmanship and ugly skyscrapers. "They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work"
