User:RD/9k/ to each according to his work (Q28,85)

From Philosophical Research

Motif

  1. to each according to his work -> this always stuck out at me as odd because of the way it's exactly how markets work. I don't have any moral issues with it, but I find it theoretically confusing.
  2. in Bolshevism there is no absolute equality / absolute equalitarianism is the product of a small peasant economy; (in Bolshevism) there can be no absolute equality (Mao) [1]

Appearances[edit]

  1. The State and Revolution (Lenin 1918/1920) -> motif appears in chapter 5. [2]
  2. On correcting mistaken ideas in the party (Mao 1929) [3]

Rival statements[edit]

  1. Wealth gets rid of poverty / to each according to his work (Toryism)
