Economics in communism/socialism

[ioncannon152]

I was wondering how do economics work in communist/socialist societies?

What would replace the market system and supply and demand?

If there was a scarcity, who would get what?

How is the value of something determined? If labor-time is the unit, would 2 hours of labor by a doctor be equivalent to 2 hours of labor by a shoe-maker?

Also, would all communes be self-sufficient? Would there be exchange of goods between communes? Would there be communes specializing in a certain type of good? i.e. commune A producing wheat, while commune B producing shoes

Thx.

It doesn't. Economics and politics are bourgeois spheres, and the economic "objectivity" (rather it is the unified subject-object) which imposes its rules on man today, will be abolished.

Value is a capitalist specific category. See Marx's Capital, Chapter 1.
