With respect, I think it was you who changed my particular subject.

And if we are getting all anal hair splitting about it, my meaning was that the public ownership of the means of production is a noble aspiration - I thought that was clear - but obviously not. Not being a "communist" per se. You can call them whatever you like if it makes you feel better about it - Communists, Fascists, Pinko's, Socialists, Collectivists, Anarcho Syndicalists etc etc - but if at the core of a political belief is the idea that the wealth of the nation should be held in the hands of the people (as do communists) then I believe that that is noble.
