Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme (1875) said this as part of a lengthy argument about what is now the SPD meant with "fair distribution of the proceeds of labor": > Thus, with an equal performance of labor, and hence an equal in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another, one will be richer than another, and so on. To avoid all these defects, right, instead of being equal, would have to be unequal.
