I think that's the problem with discussions on the net - they can not be
related to practise. So I have no idea what you actually do, I have no
idea whether we could work together on specific issues or not. The ISO
come into contact with your ideas in relation to your practise, I don't.
My arguments with you would be 100 times easier for me if we could
work together in practise - since we'd be confronting the market at
every point.

All I know is that you support the market, and I don't.

Also, your practise seems to me to have no reflection whatever in what you post.
I think this is precisely because you are a market socialist - your theory
is structurally unable to reflect your practise. To the extent that your
posts could reflect what you do, they must neccessarily break from market
socialism.
