An outstanding work, thanks,

An outstanding work, thanks, Sasha/AtG.
The work is to use intermediary, necessary tactics to enable development of socialism: no profit, no competition, no overproduction, revision of where and how we live, etc etc.
Your comments kept pressing on his circling of the role of his suggestions, which our Owners can't allow as they subvert the dominant paradigm. ... just as the Peace and Freedom Party platform shows removal of the foundations for capitalism, leaving the rising of socialism communism.
In particular, his proposals retain the status divisions of people, going along with profit/power.
