As usual the ignorant show their ignorance about socialism.
No where in socialist theory or practice does it talk about all receiving the same wage.
In the soviet union and other eastern European countries people were paid different wages.
Miners getting the highest pay, higher than teachers or even university professors, shop workers and peasant being more modestly paid. The range of payment was small so there were no very rich or poor.
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly?only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
Karl Marx
