Stuart W,


I am glad to see you moving in the direction (part ways -) of casting
overboard that
outmoded and fetid political  baggage of having faith in 'capturing'
borugeois parliament-- via bourg. election circuses and then thinking the
capitalists will just packup and disgorge all their stolen booty and
privilege
as the workers would then  be granted control o ver the means of production
and exchange.
(One has more chance of getting to workers rule/production for human need, 
via believing in  Peter Pan waving a  Magic Wand!)

I hope you will discuss more the communist-left  alternative of  the
siezure of power by workers 
councils, getting rid of the parasitic  capitalist state machinery ,  and
the workers rule at first economic-political in a semi-state (This is not a
1 Party monopolist state-- but a council state that has Rev Party forces 
inside it --but not only party forces, non Party forces as  well. But as
the advance to full communism is completed 
on a world  scale, we will not need any coercive state machinery
/governement any longer.
"The governement over people is repalced by the administration of things"
Engels -- Socialism --from Utopia to science

Also i hope to discuss with you the history of council-soviet movements ,
their sucesses and failures.
Also workers  measures taken so we don't end up with state-capitalist rule.
