A new wage-policy in Socialism

Everyone knows the old communist slang, From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. It's not Karl Marx's words, but a description communists use themselves when packing their evil ideology into something sellable (gulags, Stalin and empty old-Soviet store-shelves don't sell that good any more).

But now it seems socialism has had a face-lift. The so-called Communist Party USA, and old-fashioned anti-trade, labour theory of value organization of socialists, has re-shaped the old communist-slang, and now it's become:

From each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her work.

..followed with a short explanation:

Socialism provides incentives for working better, producing more and higher quality goods, acquiring advanced skills. It does NOT equalize wages. Wages vary according to occupation and efficiency, although everyone is guaranteed a liveable wage.

This is an important change. Now wages are dependant on something: The doctor is rewarded for his education and skills (hence he's not going to join other doctors in Cuba in the taxi-driving business). The un-skilled worker is rewarded for his increase in skills (hence he will have less incentive to join workers in France on social welfare while jobs stay vacant). In short - communism has become market-oriented and abandoned the labour theory in principle.

It takes a long time to shift an old ideology like socialism in the right direction. However, it's possible and it's happening. Who knows, maybe in another 200 years we will have eliminated the ideology and the majority of its descendant ideologies?
