Hi Paul C: Piece work wages and pay based on the intensity of work set in motion a Taylorist dynamic which found expression in the Stakhanovite experience in the USSR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakhanovite. These are means to enforce and coerce labor discipline, not liberate workers. Nor am I convincred by quotations from Stalin ! People who advocate workers' democracy shouldn't go around quoting Stalin in an approving way, imo. Happy 4th of July to all! (my mother's 90th birthday!)
