Assertions are free, but facts are stubborn. The Soviet Union moved 
millions of peasants into factories in the 1930s, the country's decade 
of massive industrialization. As cited earlier in this thread, the work 
week was about 41 hours, comparable to the U.S. at the time, not driven 
to 60 and 70 hours a week as in China today.

Anthony lists four other countries as examples of his assertion. Fine. 
But a counterexample on the order of tens of millions of workers still 
breaks the assertion.
