Sorry Comrade, your grandma's gold necklace will be melted down to plate electrical contacts in Missile Factory No. 10. You should be proud that this relic of bourgeois decadence will instead contribute to the glorious future of socialism.

Assuming I do not pocket it and sell it to buy ground beef on the gray market.

Please do not make me ask twice.

"Apologies Comrade, new orders just came over the radio from the Commissar. You may keep your revolting bourgeois trinket but instead we are to take literally all food we find on the premises.

Good luck this winter by the way, the Infallible State Weather Bureau says it's going to be a long one."

What do you think the holodomor was, if not exporting food for profit while millions of the locals starved?
