(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. Neil IBRP supporter -- www.ibrp.org --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
