Nah. The principle you quoted is the definition of communism. USSR
was a socialist country and the motto was "From each according to
his ability, to each according to his labour". Also, quoting Lenin:
"One who doesn't work, doesn't eat" [the intended targets were
capitalists; it also happened to be applied to cripples as well].
Too much for entitlements.
I'm not sure which country was more communistic then.
