Pardon me sir, but I submit that it is you who seems to focus here on semantics and formal definitions... :) I was talking straight down to earth practicalities and realities. Any strongly collectivist political system will inevitably come into conflict with individual rights, and will end up oppressing them. Communism is a lousy idea in any of its incarnations. If people didn't learn from history, they will learn - maybe - after yet another period of quasi-scientific collectivist regimes... and that education will once again cost a lot of suffering.
