I think that you are confusing "needs" and wants. Needs are food,

Which is, amazingly, just how communism worked in the so called
"Eastern Block".

If you were like many in the military, you did as little as possible to
to get those needs supplied.

Which is also much like the Eastern Block version communism:

"They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work."
