Yes. The communist party was the result of a minority splitting out from
the socialist party, because of their different views.

I said that the Socialist party kicked him out. Seven years later, when
the communist party got official recognition, he was already on the
extreme right.

Hmmm.. combining this with the "workers who own the means of production"
socialist view, it follows that a socialist society is a particular case
of a capitalist society, one where everyone is self-employed (or have at
least a slice of the property) and not just a consumer. Or is it getting
ridiculous? :-) Is this some kind of peace treaty that you and Charlie
can sign? :-)
Ciao,
