Re: [DIYbio] Re: [biocurious] BioCurious Cash Crisis - I need YOUR help

My point is that a "communist" system would imply communal ownership of the lab, including the building. Communism is a societal thing, you can't just accuse a club-like affair of being "a communism". It simply doesn't parse.

Whether or not memberships are a good idea isn't my point, rather that a system requiring them is indicative of a system entirely unlike communism.

Shouldn't take that as an endorsement of Communism on my part. Doesn't seem to work any better than Capitalism as a viable way to build long-lived societies.

Just because there were membership fees doesn't mean that membership
fees are a good idea. I don't see your point.
