Oh, did we talk?? (Rick)

The leap from where we are to pure communism is vast and, imho, unsurmountable. Also the failures/ inadequacies of many world examples, though admittedly with some successes as well, turn people away. The label is so strong that it overshadows any issue oriented discussion.

Personally I am ok with it and see a place for all sorts of advocacy and perspectives, some pragmatic and some aspirational, to help push the narrative but I think most people easily dismiss it.
