That's the argument for market socialism. Order Schweickart's Against Capitslim (westview), and get back to me. For therest, your ideas strike me as hopelessly naive. Gripped as I am in the first of bourgeois ideology, I don't believe that a society could work the way you decribe; I think it's a pipe dream. I wouldn't fight for it, and I don't think many working people would. In fact, I'd fight _against_ it; I think it would be far worse than what we have now. And I'm a socialist: if you can't persuade me, your arguments will be lost on a skeptic.
