Alright, that's what I thought, thank you.

I don't know if I've actually fully developed an understanding of dialectics as an independent thing, but certainly this new conception of communism really does feel liberating. I can see what you mean by the attitude of "Anything is possible" by communists in the 1920s. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to beat those old superstitions out of my head. The stuff you responded to my questions with didn't go to waste or get ignored, is what I'm saying.

Okay – so communism is human beings, consciously, grappling their problems by the horns and scientifically planning every domain of life possible. I think I understand what you mean with this as a process, but I'm simply wondering if designating communism as a stateless, classless society, is accurate or if we should leave this question blank given that this could be taken as utopian ideals which we conform reality to.

You mention communism as a process, and not a set of ideals to which reality will have to adjust itself. I think I understand what you mean by this, and the futility of trying to predict what or how the organs of communism would be in the future given the nonexistence of such a movement today (i.e. it's out of our proximity). I realize all this – but what does this mean of a communist society? If one refers to communism as the conscious mastery of man over nature, by real people without any big other or external guarantor, then what does this make of a "communist society"? Does the definition of a classless and stateless society still apply to communist society, or is this merely implicit in the movement?

Have you ever wrote a book?

Or at least considered it?

welcome back

Thanks for your response. Interesting as always.

I'd like to ask two questions, one of which is a follow up, and the second one not being related.

1. Is there any particular trend in anarchist theory you dislike?

2. What is your position on alienation? Is it real? How would you describe it?

What is your opinion of anarchism, both as a historical and contemporary thought and movement?
