Communist ideology borrowed many of the images, canons and rituals of the religion it denied. Its main tenet was the possibility of creating a perfect society where there would be no exploitation, no wars, no injustice, where virtues would flourish and vices would disappear.

Humanity's biggest social experiment, and we had a chance to take part in it.

A man comes to apply for a job. The boss asks him:
- Do you drink vodka?
Man comes in right away:
- Do you have any?
- No, I'm just asking, basically.
- Ah-ah-ah. No, in principle, I don't drink.

***

- Well, that's it, I'm going to hit the dishes!
Husband, with a smirk:
- Go, go! I got you a plastic one... ...multi-scandalous!

Explanation of the video (including what the experiment didn't say):

Didier Desordes, a researcher at the University of Nancy's Bioligical Behaviour Laboratory, placed six rats in the same cage to study their swimming ability. The only exit from the cage led to a swimming pool, which had to be swum over to reach a food trough. It was soon discovered that the rats did not swim together in search of food. It was as if they had allocated roles to each other. There were two exploited swimmers, two exploiters who did not swim, one independent swimmer and one non-swimmer scapegoat.

The two exploited rats dived into the water for food. On their return to the cage, the two exploiters beat them until they gave up their food. Only when they were full did the exploited have the right to finish eating after them. The exploiters never swam. They restricted themselves to constantly giving the swimmers a beating in order to get a full meal.

The autonomist was a strong enough swimmer to get his own food and eat it without giving it to the exploiters. Finally, the scapegoat could not swim and intimidate the exploiters, so he ate the remaining crumbs.

The same division - two exploiters, two exploited, one autonomous, one scapegoat - reappeared in the twenty cells where the experiment was repeated.

To better understand this hierarchical mechanism, Didier Desdors placed six exploiters together. They fought all night. In the morning the same roles were allocated. Two exploiters, two exploited, a scapegoat, autonomously. The researcher obtained the same result by putting six exploiters, six autonomists and six scapegoats in the same cage.

Whatever the individuals are, they always end up assigning roles to each other. The experiment was continued in a large cage where two hundred rats were put in. They fought all night. In the morning, three rats with their skin peeled off were found crucified on a net. The moral: the bigger the population, the more violence against the scapegoats.

At the same time, the exploiters in the big cage have created a hierarchy of deputies to impose their power through them, without even bothering to directly terrorise the exploited.

The Nancy researchers continued the experiment by examining the brains of their subjects. They concluded that it was not the scapegoats or the exploited who were most stressed, but rather the exploiters. They no doubt feared losing their privileged status and being forced to start working themselves one day.
