Re: the Communist Manifesto: critique

The fatal flaw of this argument is that it is based on a false assumption, 
that abolishing social classes is empirically impossible. As long as there is 
capitalism this is probably true, but in a society where ownership is traded 
for access, where there is total decentralization, no sovereign entities 
other than the individual, group decisions by consensus, self-sustainability, 
mutual cooperation, one can easily see, how social classes would be 
inappropriate, unnecessary, and non-existent.
