labor, fixed
wages, time wages, piece wages, profit sharing in the economies in
raw material, machinery, etc., profit sharing in the results of
intensive labor; the most diverse forms of distribution of
products, like contract by purchase from the warehouses of the
State, from municipalities, from cooeperatives of production, from
producers themselves, etc., etc. _The same manifold character of
economic mechanism that exists to-day is possible in a Socialistic
society._ Only the hunting and the hunted, the struggling and the
resisting, the annihilating and being annihilated of the present
competitive struggle are excluded, and therewith the contrast
between exploiter and exploited." (Italics mine.)[296]

Equally important, or more important, than private cooeperative
industries in the Socialist State, it is expected, will be the increase
of private _organizations of other kinds_, especially in the fields of
publications, education, etc., by what Kautsky calls free associations,
which will serve art and science and public life and advance production
in these spheres in the most diverse ways, or undertake it directly, as

expeditions. _He expects such private organizations to play an even more
important role than the government_, for "it is their destiny to enter
into the place now occupied by capital and individual production and _to
organize and to lead mankind as a social being_."[297] (Italics mine.)

"The utmost restriction of private property under Socialism," Mrs.
Gilman says, "leaves us still every article of personal use and
pleasure. One may still 'own' land by paying the government for it
as now; with such taxation, however, as would make it very
expensive to own too much! One may own one's house and all that is

"But no man or group of men could own the country's coal and decide
how much the public can have, and what we must pay for it. Private
holding of public property would be abolished."[298]

It can never be too often repeated or too strongly emphasized that, with
