3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.

Damn. Almost made it. Unfortunately, ever since the days of slavery we've had unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done. My brother's former colleagues got paid more than I did at my last job, and they spent half their day surfing the net. Friggin' socialist private enterprise.
