We need to get the public aware of what communism is and isn't. Any ideas on ways to do this? [FONT=Verdana]First I would point out that Karl Marx work on understanding how the capitalist system still stands the test of time today. Also his workers on the historical materialism seems to be right on the money, were thought he could not tell us in advance what it would look like. But I think his works on communism are out of data and only apply to the time period in which they were written. We need to point out what the differnece is between communism and everthing else. There are three types of work organization. Here a link a small qoute about them.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Comparison with other work organizations[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]There are significant differences between ends and means between firms where capital controls labour, or firms where the state controls both labour and capital. Worker-ownership has been described as "a Third Way (centrism)." These distinctions are easily seen when measured by essential elements of commerce: purpose, organization, ownership, control, sources of capital, distribution of profits, dividends, operational practices, and tax treatment. The following chart compares the commercial elements of capitalism, socialism, and cooperative worker-ownership. It is based on US rules and regulations.[3][/FONT] We need to ask ourselfs out of the three which ones are right-wing, left-wing, and which right wing is trying to pass it self off as left.
