************************************************

Cheers Joanne! This statement by Tamas in the interview really made me think that he and I are on the same or very similar page:

"At the same time the crucial elements of continuity should not be forgotten. Soviet-type state capitalism was a commodity-producing, wage labour based, unequal, hierarchic, repressive money economy and a class society to outclass all class societies which was extremely efficient in suppressing proletarian resistance."

I'm number 1052 on the petition to get the rightists off his back:

Solidarity,
