Eventually people will lose trust in the system, and will only work as hard as to not get fired. Like they did under Communism. Just a general decline in morale of the country. And lowering of standards of everything produced. This was also coupled with having secret police like the Stasi, and job site informants. Something like 1/3 of the population was making reports on their fellow citizens in East Germany. And work was the primary place to get dirt on someone. Any sign of not being a True believer in the system could get you reported. People should fear the authoritarian left, as much as the authoritarian right. Having communist party affiliation meant you could be terrible at your job, and be promoted. Having party connections, also meant your kids could go to University, with terrible grades. Get cars or housing, when others had to wait years.
