(warning, offtopic :-) Namron: Perhaps in USSR, but here in former Czechoslovakia it was roughly 100% employment.. there were no homeless people begging for money during communistic era.. And planned economy meant prices were planned too, at least of some goods, like food (which was incredibly cheap), it was really vastly different from free market economy..
But 15 years without communists and people still vote for "socialistic" goverments ... We have free healthcare, extensive social benefits, free schools (even universities) and so on..

Look at the poor gorges, how they are forced to due the bruntwork for the more elite of the team, the people who do better in their society (people who get more kills) get more money to then in turn kill more stuff. For marines, winning is a job, for aliens, winning is an enterprise.

Actually in communism everyone had job and regural salary, even if this job was useless :-)
(Like manufacturing something that is not needed or that is disassembled by other people who do this job just to do some job ;-)
Planned economy was actually very funny thing, with 5 year plans, country occasionally run out of some important stuff (like toilet paper) or had excess of useless things that were not demanded :-)
