They delude the working class into thinking that capitalism can be accommodated. It can't, at least over historical time lengths. Not that I would advocate getting rid of them at this point- the ones that are left anyway- simply because it's one of the few laws left that actually benefit people.

Anyway, Cleita is right. I would envision a socialist society exactly like she said. You'd work, but the fruits of your work are shared out according, FIRST, according to need.
