Organization

[Charles Xavier]

This came to my mind, reading various works by various socialist writers of various trends.

When it comes to organizers.

This is a very rudimentary explanation and I was wondering if anyone had a more defining socialist view/work/article concerning this in the following order:

1. Capitalists are Organizers

2. They Organize primarily using capital

3. The skill set that capitalists can use to help build socialism.

[Yehuda Stern]

I really don't get the question. Organizers of what? If capitalists organize the economy? If that's the question then yes, they do so by the power of their social position in capitalism, even though they are completely unnecessary for production. As for your third point, it's not that there is a skill set that capitalists can use to help build socialism, it's just that reformists invented terms like that to foster the illusion that the bourgeoisie can be part of that process. Only the workers can build socialism. They can use certain techniques from capitalism to do so, but it's their job, not that of the capitalists.

I thought I read something by Mao concerning this. Maybe I was wrong.
