This is pure unadulterated hippie bullshit. Why don't we isolated free
individuals, acting as individuals, immediately make ourselves
one-person liberated zones and we will no longer eat any food produced
by capitalists or ride on transporation produced or managed by
capitalists or wear clothes produced by capitalists or live in homes
produced by capitalists. We will just lie down and die in our socialist
purity.

Nothing, nothing, makes me angrier than this kind of fucking
individualist anti-communist bullshit.

We are building a political movement, not a fucking isolated
cooperative.

About 10 years ago Cockburn in Counterpunch wrote a clever article on
which oil company one should buy one's gas from on one's summer
vacation. They were all equally poisonous, so the only basis for making
the selection was personal convenience. The same goes for all other
commodities  unless there is an organized boycott going on.
