The Farm Commissar would have to use forced labor to keep the farms and factories running. But if that happens then Giggleton would probably wind up as a forced laborer too, unless he expects to be the Commissar.
I don't see why Giggleton's idea wouldn't work. It worked so well in USSR. They developed a socially and technologically advanced society that clearly won the cold war against the imperialistic, capitalistic, inventors of copyright in the west because they created an open and just society in which all people were free.
