Re: "When you claim the "impact" of a social philosophy is what defines it, you are overlooking the ideology and motive of the philosophy to derive meaning only from its results." >>> You are correct. I disregard 'motive' as it is irrelevant. .. and I regard 'ideology' as a concept best defined by it's real World application. Re: "That is a way to look at the thing, but in your case it causes you to muddle concepts such that communism becomes unable to exploit markets while yet remaining communism. I'm saying that communism can certainly do it (and that it has done it and yet does it) because markets and such do not ultimately define communism. The intended philosophical thrust does." >>> Now YOU are disregarding stated 'ideology' (opposition to private ownership), and coming across to my view that things are measured by their results. :)
