Two points:

1.  The US is in the _gray_ area "between capitalism and communism.":)
(By the same token, so is just about any society.:)

2.  Avantguardian's ideal society is a compromise!?!  To me, this is
like saying, "My ideal society is a gray area between freedom and
enslavement," or "My ideal life extension program is the gray area
between youth and aging as well as between life and death.":)
