I'm not a socialist but I'm guessing here that they would use a price mechanism to fulfil the mathematical function of finding the equilibrium point of limits to a reasonable degree of accuracy, use exchange value to assign value and pay everyone equally so the exchange value represents "need".
Of course I'm not a socialist so I do not believe problems like poverty can be addressed with such irresponsibly oversimplified axioms as "capitalism is always evil".
