Will this do for a slogan?
“Commerce”? = capitalism.
(α) “State capitalism”. Its advantages.
(β) War conditions excluded “commerce”
(γ) The transition to communism” was very often (both for war reasons and owing to almost absolute poverty and to mistakes, a number of mistakes) made without the intervening stages of socialism (communism vs socialism)
(δ) “Accounting and control”?
(ε) Should pay for itself.
c + v + s s — accumulation —maintenance of the state
Allegemein Theoretisches[1]
“War” = dictatorship of the proletariat.
(α) Politics 25.X.1917—5.I.1918
(β) Weltpolitik. Brester Frieden.[2]
(γ) Civil war.
(δ) Fighting “economic crisis”, i.e., the petty- bourgeois elements? post-war indiscipline? disintegration? inefficiency?
Condition for victory in war: supreme effort.
Commercial organisation
=supreme effort reducing enterprises to a minimum, their concentration
= checking results
= “thrift”. Either-or:
aut 100,000 + 500,000 16.. .1/4 lb. for a peasant?[3]
aut supreme effort, reduction, “pressure” (?)
Had enough of indolence, slovenliness, petty profiteering, thieving, laxity.
Why not “thrift”? — freedom of trade
— state capitalism
— currency system.
