but even the most reformist CP is a danger to the degree that they oppose crony capitalism (which is what neo-liberalism typically means in practice) and favor a more rationalized version of capitalism. The CC politicians want to privatize all sorts of government functions, so that their cronies can profit and give the CC campaign contributions and bribes in return. -- Jim Devine / Bust Big Brother Bush!
