| Message | Frankly, Article 1 isn't leftist enough. But I'll still say yes. |

| Message | I though I might be able to actually win this one, plus, I'm not sure we need total state control AND democratic workers' councils. |

| Message | "plus, I'm not sure we need total state control AND democratic workers' councils." Erm...this could be a problem in the future, then. |

| Message | What I ment was that if there are provisions for all the means of production to be owned collectivly and run democraticly, you wouldn't need total state control to eliminate capitalism. DWC eliminates small scale capitalism and State centralization (over the commanding heights) should be enough to stop these DWCs from competing and exploiting echother. |

| Message | True, I suppose. Plus, 100% corporate tax would make DWC's under state control anyway. |
