That's simply your paranoid vision-and kindly stop calling me a Communist when I've already shown that I'm not. What the Left of today supports is not "committees of the ideologically pure", it's the employees of a business running the place themselves, democratically. It's the many running life together, from below. It's not as though we owe our freedom to property and greed-we owe our freedom-and the capacity to create full freedom, which includes freedom from want and freedom from oppression-to our own individual and collective will to BE free.

Stalinism is dead and nothing anybody is proposing would bring it back. There are many possibilities in life BESIDES the Gulag or Galt's Gulch.
