I will be glad to clarify your understanding of my story, but it is hard to do when you have not described what your understanding is. But let me try. The context was:
Thesis:
Employing people who barely provide any value is no good for anyone in the long run.
Argument:
Full employment was always the primary goal of all communist countries, so (state) companies were practically required to employ everyone on the job market.
(My comment was: Plain, simple truth.) The argument continues:
Many of those people had little to do and so, when people got their salaries at the end of the month, there wasn't that much stuff in the stores to buy with it, as the companies didn't have much of an output.
(My comment was: Plain, simple truth again. My story: just an illustration what my "living experience" as a software engineer was in these conditions. Basically: if your do not want to spend a lot of time in lines, you can't get milk. Not enough milk was produced to cover all the money paid to all the workers. Only sour milk to those who prefer to spend their time working.)
