152.) And here I raise the other essential question: is it possible to live together and work together between the Soviet socialist system and the new democracy, which, in principle, has already adopted the principle of generalization of means of production and private profit, and which it would use courageously in practical politics - among other so-called ways of socialization and means of socialisation - and so on? Yes or no? I answer affirmatively again. Above all, it means that the virtual system of Kiassian iibera- liism and capitalism is also seen as overridden by the democracies - in this the democracies of this kind agree with Soviet socialism. The democracies of this kind, which, apart from other ways and means of modern social policy as a principle of their virtuous policy, adopt the principle of the gradual alleviation of means of production and private profits, are on the way to a further development which can lead very far in the construction of classless society, where - with certain exceptions mainly quantitatively - the means of output and the profits of entrepreneurs would belong to the mines and where the capitalist "free play of the economic powers" in production and the distribution of goods would be replaced by the scientific plan economy (regulation and stabilization of prices and wages) which would be one of the essential components of this policy.
