So I'm trying to see how MS Word (2000, 9.0.3821 SR-1) works as my e-mail editor. Of course, the on-line version of MS Word that I used this morning to send the message that LP responds to doesn't have this option.

JD: If (1) the bureaucrat belongs to a social stratum that controls the state in a despotic way - enough to kill or imprison those who oppose their rule - and (2) the state owns the most important means of production, then doesn't that bureaucrat have a social power akin to other ruling classes?
Reply: Yes, they had lots of power over people. What they lacked was the power to fire workers, bequeath property to their sons or daughters, sell/strip assets, etc. Looking at China today, with 18 year olds committing suicide because they can't afford college, we can certainly say that a return to the status quo ante--with all the bureaucratic deformations--would be progress.
