I completely agree with Bill Cochrane, esp. the following:

Except that I do disagree with one of his points:

Actually, I think this statement contradicts the rest of Bill's statements,
or is at best a non sequitur.  I actually think this is impossible, for the
conditions that maintain these other oppressions will make it impossible for
the question of social hierarchy in general to be solved.  (We do know that
socialism is more than the abolition of private property, right?)
