The Truth Is We Need To Be A Democratic Socialist State Like Sweden, Norway, et al.

2. The key is to arrange employment so that there is no employer! The crucial part the USSR missed.

Marx has been demonized in this country. The whole point of the McCarthy era was to ensure that this arrangement did not take place. It was the rich's way of staying in control, and increasing their power and wealth.

We already have this system in the US in the form of profit sharing. It's not like some evil Red monster. What IS a monster is what we have, which has disabled the working class, and enabled the owners to say in control.

Communities of workers who make decisions and control their own employment. It's a community. It's commun-ism, and as long as the boss has been eliminated, it works.

If you've ever seen a company that uses profit sharing (like Hypertherm, who make plasma cutters) you will notice a distinctly different attitude among the people who work there. They aren't slaving away to make some guy rich. They are participating in the process, and benefiting from it.

Lower taxes, higher pay, in control. No wonder McCarthy got away with it.
