Ken:
My dissertation adviser, Allen Wood, wrote an article that probably quotes or cites or discusses the passage you're remembering: *Allen W. Wood, 'Marx and Equality' in Issues in Marxist Philosophy IV; John Mepham and David-Hillel Ruben (eds.). * * *I would dig out that book, but we just moved offices and it's buried somewhere. The Critique of the Gotha Program also makes the point you make about distribution according to need.
