The think tank has forgotten how to argue with the actual left because the US democratic party is what people view as socialism. They don't even think about you anymore because people who study history know how flawed the forcible elimination of property rights is at a conceptual and functional level.

There is nothing inherently anti-capitalist about voluntary communes or coops as long as it remain voluntary, small-scale (To ensure choice), and deferent to the rules of fair play.

The good faith card was because I had already addressed Cowbee's points in my language. They were not reading my language. Ignoring their comment would be actually moving goalposts.
