Sounds like it really wants to differentiate itself from the "old kind of socialism", which has a heritage of thought which already contains a lot of the things mentioned here. And, as with most socialist thought, tends to kick up a lot of cries and moans from the self-professed economists in the room.

I'm enjoying it mightily. You know you're getting close to the truth when people with aspirations of domination try to attack your ideas.
