But only because people don't have the skills to be independent working class entrepreneurs because of being brainwashed since childhood that they should work for someone else. People are always saying "there government should create more jobs" - Why should it? In a free market and/or communism there would be no government. Many of these people wanting more jobs are socialists. How are they going to cope being business owners after the fall of capitalism and realisation of socialism if they lack the entrepreneurial spirit in our mixed economy?! I always hear people saying; "My parents were Labour, my grandparents were Labour, my great grandparents were Labour, and I'm Labour". In my case, my father was an entrepreneur, my grandfather and my great grandfather. I'd say I'm better set up for post-capitalism because of my ancestry than them! Possible Giboff.

I'd say I'd be very handy in a Marxist society. I'm a worker that has already risen up. I was stranded on Incapacity benefit for years, before working for an employer, and then becoming self-employed and owning 100% my own limited company, whilst co-operating with others through a co-operative. If anyone wants the workers to be in control of the means of production, distribution and exchange, then those workers should follow my path work for themselves instead of capitalist enterprise. My co-operative is ready to take them on as subcontractors, as by the end of the year we will have zero people on PAYE! You can't emancipate the working class any more than by making them business owners of which they are accountable only to themselves!

If it is originality then surely all papers are seminal on one level. If it is citation then it must mean a significant contribution, which is open to question and undefinable by anything but academic agreement One way or the other, without a group of experts denoting a paper as seminal the word is devoid of meaning 100 citations is not a lot over 5 years and tens of thousands of US computer students (let alone those from other countries with access) Just wondering what does make a paper seminal?
