One could say that two main points of socialism as a whole lie in two demands, to which a third then arises as a matter of course, as a self-evident consequence. They lie, firstly, in the demand, which has already been discussed today in the context of capital, in the demand that in the future the capital invested in the means of production should no longer be property. Capital is divested of its property character. Secondly, in the future, labor must no longer be a commodity. That is to say, in the future socialist or social society, in the healthy social organism, the wage relationship will cease to exist. Labor or labor power must no longer be a commodity. The person who does manual labor produces as a partner with the intellectual worker in the way that has already been characterized. There is no labor contract, there is only a contract for the division of services. This can only be achieved if the worker faces the supervisor as a completely free human being, that is, if he is able to determine the extent, time, and type of his labor on a completely different basis than that of the economic order, if he is free to dispose of himself as a whole person before entering into a contractual relationship.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/330/1919-05-13/p017","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190513p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

By doing this, it will be possible to regulate everything that can be regulated as law on democratic ground, independently of economic life. Economic life itself can only be organized on the basis of experience and the real foundations of that economic life. But labor power can already be organized when the worker enters economic life at all. If that is the case, then in the future there will be, on the one hand, circulating capital or the circulating means of production, which are not the property of any one person, but are actually there for general use, and which can always come to the most capable through the institutions that I have just described. On the other hand, there will be human freedom, not only in terms of all kinds of ideal goods, which the manual laborer cannot count as his own today, but above all in terms of human labor power. Then the economic life will be relieved of the wage relationship, for then there will only be goods in the economic life, or, for that matter, we can call them products. Then what is capital, wage and market today will face each other in a different way. Then, as you have seen, capital will have ceased to exist, and so will wages, because there will be achievements that the worker produces together with the supervisor. The concept of wages will cease to have any meaning.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":262,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/330/1919-05-13/p019","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190513p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Man könnte sagen, zwei Hauptpunkte des ganzen Sozialismus liegen in zwei Forderungen, zu denen sich dann wie von selbst, als eine selbstverständliche Konsequenz, eine dritte ergibt. Sie liegen erstens in der Forderung, die heute schon bei Besprechung des Kapitals mitbesprochen worden ist, in der Forderung, daß künftighin das in die Produktionsmittel eingeflossene Kapital nicht mehr Besitz sein dürfte. Kapital wird des Besitzcharakters entkleidet. Zweitens, Arbeit darf in der Zukunft nicht mehr Ware sein, das heißt in der zukünftigen sozialistischen oder sozialen Gesellschaft, im gesunden sozialen Organismus wird das Lohnverhältnis aufhören. Arbeit oder Arbeitskraft darf fernerhin nicht Ware sein. Derjenige, der handarbeitet, produziert als Kompagnon mit dem geistigen Arbeiter in der Weise, wie es schon charakterisiert worden ist. Es besteht kein Arbeitsvertrag, es besteht ein Vertrag lediglich über die Teilung der Leistungen. Das ist dasjenige, was nur erreicht werden kann, wenn der Arbeiter dem Arbeitsleiter als ein völlig freier Mensch gegenübersteht, das heißt wenn er imstande ist, auf einem ganz anderen Boden als dem der Wirtschaftsordnung Maß, Zeit, Art seiner Arbeitskraft festzulegen, wenn er frei verfügen kann über sich als ganzen Menschen, bevor er in ein Vertragsverhältnis eintritt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-05-13/p017"},{"locus":"GA 330/1919-05-13/p018","passage_number":18,"text":"Ich weiß, daß die Zöpfe von heute sich das Gesagte noch nicht vorstellen können als etwas Praktisches.

Das Wirtschaftsleben selber kann nur aus der Erfahrung und aus den realen Grundlagen dieses Wirtschaftslebens heraus selber organisiert werden. Arbeitskraft aber kann schon organisiert sein, wenn der Arbeiter überhaupt in das Wirtschaftsleben eintritt. Dann, wenn das der Fall ist, dann wird in der Zukunft leben auf der einen Seite das zirkulierende Kapital beziehungsweise die zirkulierenden Produktionsmittel, die so keines Menschen Besitz sind, sondern zur allgemeinen Verwendung in Wirklichkeit da sind, die immer an den Fähigsten kommen können durch die Einrichtungen, die ich eben vorhin dargestellt habe. Dann wird da sein auf der andern Seite die Freiheit des Menschen, nicht nur in bezug auf allerlei ideale Güter, die aber der Handarbeiter heute nicht zu den seinigen rechnen kann, sondern vor allen Dingen mit Bezug auf die menschliche Arbeitskraft. Dann wird das wirtschaftliche Leben entlastet sein des Lohnverhältnisses, denn dann wird es im Wirtschaftsleben nur Güter geben oder meinetwegen nennen wir es Waren. Dann wird in anderer Weise sich gegenüberstehen das, was heute Kapital, Lohn und Markt ist.
