The last word of
capitalism in this respect, the Taylor System--as well as all
progressive measures of capitalism--combine the refined cruelty of
bourgeois exploitation and a number of most valuable scientific
attainments in the analysis of mechanical motions during work, in
dismissing superfluous and useless motions, in determining the
most correct methods of the work, the best systems of accounting
and control, etc. The Soviet Republic must adopt valuable and
scientific and technical advance in this field. _The possibility
of Socialism will be determined by our success in combining the
Soviet rule and the Soviet organization of management with the
latest progressive measures of capitalism. We must introduce in
Russia the study and the teaching of the Taylor System and its
systematic trial and adaptation_. While working to increase the
productivity of labor, we must at the same time take into account
the peculiarities of the transition period from capitalism to
Socialism, which require, on one hand, that we lay the foundation
for the Socialist organization of emulation, and, on the other
hand, _require the use of compulsion so that the slogan of the
dictatorship of the proletariat should not be weakened by the
practice of a too mild proletarian government_.
