: : I like this forum, its a competion of ideas, a market place of thought (hehe)

I detect a note of sarcasm.

: : Free speech is the vital ingredient in a worthwhile society, yet i remember some 'reds' i used to know wanting to ban works by people like von mises, rand, friedman and others - so as not to 'poison' the purity of socialist teachings.

: : If free speech stays in a hypothetical socialist society isnt there.a risk of people re-discovering the 'great works' of pro capitalists and starting a movement much like yours, until the collective class gain individual consciousness and turn over the socialist ways?

: Long gone the days when people could argue that communists ideas could save the world. Free speech (as you mention) and experience proved that such thing could never exist.
: Yet, the question still remains: Is there a political alternative to capitalism as it exists today? Despite your irony this debate could create good ideas.
