Hi Art,

What about the communication that we are having now - is this not liberating ;)

Isn't the ability to plan joint work across the Atlantic and further afield simply radical ;)

As for the revolution bit, I think we are basing our argument on the evolutionary nature of our new mode of production and how this could give us the option of

"From each according to their ability,
To each according to their needs."

I think you are correct to mention how we presently have it and IMHO how it will continue unless there is a phase change:

the oppressor has been stepping on your neck with
such force for so long

Also

that any shift or adjustment in his
foot feels like a welcome relief.

Any shift of adjustment in his foot has been in the reverse direction than which you imagine. Both the nations in which we live are once again underpinning the economics of the dominant mode of production with species war.
