In the Transitional Program, the founding document of the Fourth International, written on the eve of World War II, Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky put forward a series of demands aimed at bridging the struggles of the working class to the understanding of the need to overthrow the decaying and anarchic capitalist profit system. To unmask the exploitation, robbery and fraud of the capitalist owners and the swindles of the banks, he argued that the workers should demand that the capitalists open their books “to reveal to all members of society that unconscionable squandering of human labor which is the result of capitalist anarchy and the naked pursuit of profit.” Pointing out that “imperialism means the domination of finance capital,” he raised the call for the expropriation of the banks while arguing that this would produce “favorable results only if the state power itself passes completely from the hands of the exploiters into the hands of the toilers.” In the face of mass unemployment, he called for working-class struggle for a shorter workweek with no loss in pay to spread the available work, for a massive program of public works and for wages to rise with prices to guard against the ravages of inflation.

als wenn „available work“ im Kapitalismus genau das wäre, was die Leute so leisten müßten, wenn es nicht mehr um Kapitalverwertung, sondern nur noch um den Nutzen der Produzenten ginge. Aber das nur am Rande zur Frage, was wirklicher Reichtum im Gegensatz zu kapitalistischen Werten sein müßte.
