"From each according to their ability, to each according to their need"
Your focus on arbitrarily determining who creates more value is a by-product of our capitalist society
But it's one that any slightly selfish person will realize. And if any one person is even slightly selfish, the whole system collapses
One selfish person wouldn't cause the entire system to collapse -- what? lol Read my other comments in this thread.
When your needs are met by the state, you tend to be less selfish. Or not selfish at all since you don't need to hoard the item. Besides Conquest of Bread, I'd suggest reading Wage-Labor And Capital for more understanding. At least if you are legit wanting to learn.
