I'm not convinced that all aspects of the economy will be guided by this, but I do believe it is highly probable that communal property will form in order to help the poor, welfarism, etc. What I do not believe in though is coercion(unless of course an individual has trampled all over another's individual rights such as murder/theft.. I sort of believe in the most limited form of government/though I'm not discounting the idea that the free market could could solve these problems in the absence of a government body). As such I don't believe in leftism or rightism... only in limiting coercive forces.
Agree. A major problem I've noticed with communist political groups is that they tend to attract and become dominated by angry low quality fanatics who will attack anyone further "right" then themselves, even the more moderate members within their own group. I completely agree that common ownership of production is ultimately a good thing, but we need a pragmatic, method based means of getting there that most self-described "communist" overlook.
