While that is exactly the impression they intended to make in the filming of that scene, I have little doubt that they were also inserting a little bit of under-the-radar socialist theory into their entertainment. The Russian Communists were also very big about promoting the struggles and sacrifices of their heroes.
I seem to recall that someone wrote an article saying that the writers did indeed intend that line as a subtle variation on "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
Leonard Nimoy also played a Martian zombie in the serial”Zombies from the Stratosphere”. He was a turncoat zombie who decided he didn’t want to kill humans!! I think the serial is on YouTube. Anyway, you can see he had his Vulcan eyebrows!!!!
Live long and prosper!!!
Oh, yes—his one-man show where he played Theo van Gogh was excellent..very talented man!!
