Re: Beyond Communism and Capitalism?

                Mr. Proyect,


        Again, it is not the *planning*, but the "who".  You said that
"Socialism means the rational use of labor and
resources for the benefit of all humanity. To *plan* means to use our
power of reasoning. This is what socialism is all about."


        Whose rationale? at whose bidding?  What if I and my buddies think
the figures are crap?  Why can't we make our own business decisions?  We're
not exploiting anybody, we're a partnership.


        Isn't the point really not just to plan, but to let everyone have a
shot at planning his own economic future?   Why can't the great statisticians
and data gatherers work in collectives and syndicats?




        peace
