Right. I'd also go after "freedom." We need to replace capitalism with a free and democratic economy, and then describe a communist society. ^^^^^ CB: Yes on "freedom". That's our word. The American enslaved Africans and Civil Rights movement had "freedom" as its main goal. But I digress. On freedom we must make the basic materialist argument that in capitalism, there is no freedom if you don't have a job or enough income to get the basic material necessities - decent food, decent shelter, decent clothes, decent health care, decent recreation, decent education, etc. "Freedom" to sleep under a bridge is not freedom. You can't enjoy all the wonderful American freedoms if you don't have a right to a job or income. In capitalism, where the basic means of production (oops watch that terminology , Charles) are denied to the vast majority, that majority _must_ be given jobs or income as a right , because they can't produce their own necessities.
