I am certainly no leninist, while I do appreciate him for his strength, wit, and ideals I am afraid his theory on how to generate a worker's revolutionary state proved terribly, terribly incorrect. Most of what you say is, in fact, very correct. You do need to elaborate a bit more on the future state, you do little better than anarchists actually. I do find it odd that you did not seem to mention CPUSA, probably the greatest example of ridiculous and shallow communism that I have yet to see. I find it distressing that all the communist organizations and even all liberal ones are caught up in the same bush-bashing, WTO fixation while completely ignoring any local relevancy what so ever. They seem to only take the biggest and most mainstream national issues and ramble on about them for months on end without actually, as you have said, posing any solutions or even paying attention to the plight of the every day worker and poverty stricken individual. I would like to make a suggestion myself, a way in which you do not have to slowly "Eat away", and most likely become stalled eventually,at the capitalist economy. Why not simply put into full and total practice a method of production that is currently being used? Why not transform, a fairly simple process actually, all current corporation slowly or, if need be, quickly into "cooperatives"? This does go along with something you hinted at, but did not really specify. These worker controlled companies would operate basically like a capitalist organization only devoid of exploitation. The banks would be state controlled and charge no interest and all apartment complexes and neighborhoods would also become cooperatives or citizen/city run establishments. This is still far from a money-less state, but wit

h the workers in control of the means of production, their own labor, and a democratic state there are only a few steps left to be completed. I would also like to apologize if you, in fact, did suggest precisely what I wrote above and I happened to misunderstand.
