History cannot be undone, precisely because it is history and has a real shape and being. The social organization of labor may still seems abstract, but it is not. The combatants must press their imaginative narrative on events that describe a society of associated producers, freed from the commodity form, at least in all socially necessary means of life.

Men and women never relinquish created history, no matter how horrible one describes it.

The future sits in front of us to be created and that is the challenge.

Me . . . I am not going back to subsistence economy or ideological concepts of Lakota Indian communism or some other "ancient ideological form" presented in a modern form that longs for a past that never existed. The longing is for something more imaginative, creative and in harmony with what exists and the possible.

Politics is the art of the possible. When ones imagination outruns the possible there is a problem and all kinds of class divergence takes place.

A modern communism rooted in this state of development of the financial architecture and this stage of development of the technical and social organization of labor, will make sense to the American peoples, and most of the world people.

Some things will never make sense to some people. Here, political will decides.
