Schwarz: I agree with you on most things you've said but why do we need to go socialist before communist? Why not instead of a brief period under a socialist oligarchy we just organize into communes and/or local soviets straight away?

Force: Your confusing communism with socialism. Communism where no leader has lead it has worked. Take the Spanish revolution or the communes set in the Ukraine before they were crushed by the red army. Genuine was equality was achieved in both cases and only collapsed because of invasion.

Communism was never meant to work on a large scale, it was meant to work on a communal scale, which is does. The only trick needed is linking up the communes into a federation. It's been done but it's been done by Anarchists not communists.
