Charles, this is just nuts. This isn't socialism you're advocating, its unabomberism...

CB: No to disagree with what I am saying here is nuts. To deny that capitalism has the worse mode of destruction in history is to deny the undeniable, putting your head in the sand like an ostrich.

Your reference to the unibomber is totally out to lunch. I am saying nothing against peaceful use of technology. You are not seriously comparing accurate denunciation of nuclear weapons and hi tech capitalism weaponry , etc. with the nutty unibomber proposals regarding all technology ? That would be gross slander of what I have said.

You are not seriously questioning that the European domination over the Third World has been the worst despotism in the history of humanity ? Have you forgotten colonialism and slavery of the last 400 years ? That would be nuts.
