The question is of theoretical interest too:
the proletarian state power holds
a material base {{ factories railways foreign trade.
Consequence: in its hands is a commodity stock and its wholesale (railway) transport.
What is the proletarian state power doing with this stock?
Selling it:
(α) to the workers by hand and brain for money,
or for their labour without money;
(β) to the peasants for grain.
How does it sell? Through whom?
Through a commission agent (=a trader) for his percentage on commission.
It gives preference to the co-operatives (trying to organise the entire population in them).
Why is this impossible? Yet this is capitalism+socialism.
