But if the socialists work harder they also get paid more.

 

 

Getting paid more for working harder is not a socialist concept. In pure socialism, you should get paid the same regardless. Everyone working harder increases the standard of living for all, but for that to work, we need to build better humans. When you figure out a way to do that, give me a call :)

But in your example in the OP, the socialist system would allow people to earn more money by working harder because their wage is a percentage of profit. So working harder is rewarded in both the socialist and capatilist systems. But in the capitalist system, four out of the five people would earn less than in a socialist system and one person would earn (a lot) more.
