Under true communism, everyone recieves their "wage" according to how long they work. Hence, the labor theory of value.

Nobody mentioned Communism! Be relevant!
Under communism, nobody receives a wage. The labour theory of value is not a way of allocating wages.

How does this not eliminate an incentive problem? This merely spurs the incentive to work, not the incentive to work certain jobs over others.

The so-called Socialist 'incentive problem' is that since people are no longer disease-ridden or lacking education, they wont bother working. Under capitalism people apparantly have to work for these things.
Quote:
The incentive, under such a system, switches from capitalism greed to doing what you want to do. If you don't want to do anything, you're stuck with the garbage man job.
|
Doing what you want to do is Communism, if you don't want to do anything under Socialism; if you want to lay around and do nothing, you get nothing.
There are a few ideas on how to get the undesirable jobs done in a Socialist society, although you have to realise that alot of garbage men/sewer cleaners/whatever, do these jobs because they like them. Other than that, I see eveyone doing these jobs for a small period of time each year. Society can share the task.
Quote:
Communism is the mix between pure socialism and pure democracy

There is only Democracy under Socialism, there is no Democracy under Communism. This is the "withering away of the state" that you may have read about. Engels? You know?
Communism is no money, no state, no class.
Quote:
A government indissimilar from the current US government, though with a stronger power over economic sanctions and higher taxes to provide many more services, would be what I want. It pushes for socialism of the economic equality type, but provides many important aspects to government.
|
You have got to be joking. Socialism is workers democracy, not a richer government with more power. Such a system begs to be corrupted.
I don't mean to sound mean comrade, do you relate to any particular group or party?
Also, you and I, or anyone else, does not get a say in whether Communsim follows Socialism, or not. It either does or it doesn't.
Quote:
That factor is called equal wages.
|
Moron! What have I told you!
Are you doing this on purpose?
There is no equal wage under Sociaism. "Equal Wages" is one of the biggest lies that the ruling class has managed to get people to believe. Why would there be equal wages?
Quote:
In layman's terms, fewer people would become doctors because the job pays less, and more would become artists because the job pays more.
|
Why would the doctor be paid less? Put your answer in any term you like. He would be paid more. The artist would be paid more too. But if a doctor works harder than an artist (which I am sure they do) then a doctor would be paid more.
Quote:
This causes a shortage of doctors and an excessive number of artists.

Why does Cuba have so many doctors? They have so many that they send them away to other countries. You may be confused though, because it is possible that a waitress/waiter can earn more in a day than a doctor. This is result of tourists using the US dollar, not "Equal Wages".
Understand?
