Jeff Davis described himself the other day with these words:

While that is not communist, it's in the the same basic neighborhood.
Will sometimes comes across as very left leaning and there are others.
While I'm not an anarchist, I would say I'm in that neighborhood, just
for comparison.

I don't think there is anyone on this list that would come out and say
directly "I am a communist", because Russian communism showed so
definitively how inefficient such a system is. Yet the ideas of Marx
and others are very much alive here on this list and in our world
today.
