Didn't we go over this several months ago? It's not just a matter of advocating "small is better" but freedom for the individual. If the individual still has to go to some alienating factory job, what's the fucking difference if it is called socialism or capitalism? Of course, there is no difference, which is why socialists have been called the left wing of capital for good reasons.

Umm, small scale experiments still exist in a capitalist system.
Wait, you mean to tell me that the human species didn't invent baking until there were screws and light bulbs for bakeries?
You can't bake without a bakery?

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
