Reinstatement of Political Rule Over Production

Summary/Abstract: Socialism is subject to one of the fundamental laws of history, according to which »in the social production of their life men enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will« and ideologies. In deciding on the lines of its development, socialist society must take into account these objective circumstances. This brings to the fore a set of problems which is usually called the relationship of economics and politics. The extensive expropriation of the federal state machinery as the regulator of the entire economy, as the chief subject of state-property monopoly, has not directly resulted in the power of associated labour. On the contrary, political dominance over production has been restored through the ramified system of administrative regulation of economic relations and of the so-called terms of economic activity. The scope of the competences of centres of political power in controlling the means of expanded reproduction bears witness to the establishment of a quasi-state ownership. The most reliable indicator of -decentralized statismis confinement within territorial boundaries. To identify the effect of the political system on these social processes, it would be necessary to examine: (a) state regulations imposing the dependence of the associated labour on economic policies; and (b) the institutions of the political system, in order to determine to what extent they enhance the tendency of confinement territorial and the dependence of associated labour on territorial communities.
