        There is a very real problem with both state socialism and 
state (which unmitigated private leads to) capitalism. In socio-economic
structures where a class is established to "govern", these people soon
become removed from the "proletariat" and begin to rule according to self-
interest. As a class distinction has been established, it means that such 
benefits for the ruling class will be made at the expense of others (in a 
zero-sum game).
       As such, only in a decentralized system is it possible for the majority
to rule (i.e. There's no government, like NO government!).
       Bye-the-way, George Orwell would likely have been greatly upset by
today's U.S.A. as well as the U.S.S.R., he was an Anarchist (read Homage To
Catalonia, Penguin Books).


       Remember, the Anarchists have been shot at by both State-ist systems.
