This text discusses the road towards a higher form of distribution in a communist society.
The author argues that as production becomes increasingly socialized, the need for individual labor-time as a measure of distribution will decrease. Instead, distribution will be based on the needs of the individual and the community.
The road towards a higher form of distribution will be achieved through the initiatives of the workers themselves. They will need to take control of the production process and integrate the distribution of goods and services into the sphere of fully public (GSU) establishments.
The workers will play a key role in this process. They will need to be involved in the planning and implementation of the new system of distribution.
The benefits of a more socialized form of distribution include:
- Increased efficiency
- Greater equity
- Improved social welfare
