I'm now an Ayn Rand fan. Ok, quote me to prove it. Please, I fucking dare you. When you fail to do so, I won't be shocked when you don't apologize.

I have read the Communist Manifesto. I still find it to be silly and extremist. Marx was a perceptive critic, but, much like Clausewitz, his ideas are open to hijacking.

I doubt a Paris Commune system would scale up. It might have some promise on a local level, but I find the idea of a self-organizing community on a large scale to be a bit too fantastic to believe.

All that aside, feel free to put your faith in systems. It's no different from the voter who wants to "trust" his leaders. It's an act of blind faith with a track record of continual failure. The only solution is for people to be involved and active in whatever system exists. Otherwise, it will end badly.
