Ownership of Labour Force in Socialist Mode of Production — Social or Private Property?
Abstract
Modern economists and sociologists seldom present their ideas in terms of
labor force. This category however, has an important function in Marxist-
-Leninist theory of historical and modern socio-economic structures. On the other
hand, none of the classics ever provided an unambiguous solution of the question
of labor ownership in a socialist society.
Theoreticians of the present day are viewing this question in aspect of the
directly social work vs. labor force as a commodity problem. According to Marx
teachings a possibility of labor sale by owners is a specific feature of private
ownership. In the opinion of many Marxists labor is not considered to be
a commodity under socialist conditions. Yet the proof of this thesis is not quite
convincing. Moreover, the idea advocating the directly social character of work
in a modern socialist society is relevant neither to facts of present economic
reality, nor to the Marxist sense of this concept. The socialisit law of division of
goods according to work does not eliminate the possibility of labor exchange in
the socialist economy. Generally the ideas negating a private character of labor
in the socialist system of production are ignoring or underestimating the conaitioning
of the socialist system of ownership by means of resource structure,
social division of labor and of the exchange of goods and money.
The author declares a new approach to the interpretation of concepts of
collective, personal and private ownership of labor. Labor has a character of
personal ownership when it is used for providing for personal needs. When it
is satisfying the needs of others not through the exchange of goods it has
a character of social ownership, whereas being on sale it functions as an object
of private ownership. According to the above classification the ownership of
labor has a private character in the socialst mode of production. This idea
follows the teachings of Lenin which assumed a future complete collectivization
of labor in classless communist society, lt also facilitates the examination of
a process of transformation of the private ownership of socialist labor force into
the ownership of collective character.
