Thank you for your reply
As for decentralized responsibility, party cell duty is regular report to
central committee and maintain party's program. If he has not ability to
this duty, simply he must give up, or choose to change his duty. Here no
command exists. Only member's will and passion is required. In a sense This
type of organization is network-type like Al-Qaeda. On the contrary, for
example, in US financial corporations as you, You may decision business
yourself, but you must seek profit in decentralized responsibility. If you
fail to raise profit, you fire. It is the difference between party and
corporation. In reality you obey corporations as unpaid worker but wage
form of payment hide this ruler-ruled relationship. Below is from "Capital"
The wage-form thus extinguishes every trace of the division of the
working-day into necessary labour and surplus-labour, into paid and unpaid
labour. All labour appears as paid labour. In the corvée, the labour of the
worker for himself, and his compulsory labour for his lord, differ in space
and time in the clearest possible way. In slave 1abour, even that part of
the working-day in which the slave is only replacing the value of his own
means of existence, in which, therefore, in fact, he works for himself
alone, appears as labour for his master. All the slave's labour appears as
unpaid labour. [8] In wage labour, on the contrary, even surplus-labour, or
unpaid labour, appears as paid. There the property-relation conceals the
labour of the slave for himself; here the money-relation conceals the
unrequited labour of the wage labourer.
Hence, we may understand the decisive importance of the transformation of
value and price of labour-power into the form of wages, or into the value
and price of labour itself. This phenomenal form, which makes the actual
relation invisible, and, indeed, shows the direct opposite of that relation,
forms the basis of all the juridical notions of both labourer and
capitalist, of all the mystifications of the capitalistic mode of
production, of all its illusions as to liberty, of all the apologetic shifts
of the vulgar economists.
If history took a long time to get at the bottom of the mystery of wages,
nothing, on the other hand, is more easy to understand than the necessity,
the raison d' etre, of this phenomenon.
The exchange between capital and labour at first presents itself to the mind
in the same guise as the buying and selling of all other commodities. The
buyer gives a certain sum of money, the seller an article of a nature
different from money. The jurist's consciousness recognizes in this, at
most, a material difference, expressed in the juridically equivalent
formula: "Do ut des, do ut facias, facio ut des, facio ut facias." [9]
