Two things:

First, it seems that you basically mean that working people cannot abolish
capital without learning about communit alternatives, ie without us bringing
them communist ideas.  Is that correct or am I missing something?

Secondly, the bit about 'masses' and other terminology like that is that it
is an unnecessary impediment to getting people to listen to us.  If it means
so little to you, then why not just stop using it and other worthless (and
even counterproductive) lingo?  It is not as if the term has any particular
theoretical rigor -- quite the contrary!

Cheers,
Chris
