I am neither pro-capitalist nor particularly pro-communist; I merely wished to convey my feelings about the glaring vulnerabilities to centralized systems (communist China and the USSR), which consequently became dehumanizing and murderous, quite the opposite of what was originally intended and quite the opposite of what no doubt attracted you to communism, and these examples have been implemented by self-described communists. The message is certainly not that anything is bad or pointless, but that there are always consequences, even to well-meaning ideas.

I'm not particularly into the worship of nation states myself, as I find communists who do that to be holding onto imperialism, nationalism, etc. I think that's a fine critique for you to make, but I think it would definitely help it come across as "I'm not pro-capitalism, but you can call yourself a 'communist' but still end up perpetuating the same issues if you aren't ready to address *all* the root problems" because I think without that information it just reads as "Oh theres a poetry jam that's anti-capitalism and made and run by a communist? Time to make a chapbook about how communism sucks and doesn't work and that capitalism is good." I trust when you say that's not what you're doing that that's not what your doing, but would appreciate if that clarification was a little clearer.

By default I release my work under creative commons licenses because I see the abuses of capitalism. :\ But if I feel moved to write a few more poems directly in that vein (criticism of capitalism) I will update the work.

I did really like and enjoy the way you released it and I think this kind of license specifically (and encouraging people to play with and remix your work) is a *great* way to encourage rethinking how we feel about 'ownership' and 'copyright'. Thank you for replying also, I won't be removing it.

And thank you for hosting the poetry jam. :)
