"Communism and socialism tend to lead to massive centralization."

Yes, all institutions do, and none more readily. I deliberately avoid any kind of accounting whatsoever, but seek only to create goodwill with good people that I can depend on when I am in need - and this is definitely not every Tom, Dick, and Harry, that every formal institution must account. I find most people to be limited in their capacity to bear goodwill, and this moderates my expectations of them. It is the indolent and avaricious I avoid, and thus my community isn't just everyone in the region, which may be what differentiates what I do from Communism or Socialism. It is certainly not universally applicable as those formal institutional mechanisms claim is necessary. My sovereign authority to apply myself at my sole option per my understanding is fundamental to such success as I have attained.

I know you to be highly principled, and I know that house and home are fundamental responsibilities you are determined to fulfill. I hope only to testify that goodwill can be a boon and not a detriment, when applied with wisdom. I am not particularly wise, and make many mistakes fumbling my way along, but I have apparently accrued enough goodwill with enough good people to survive to date by this means.

It could all fall apart tomorrow and I could again learn what a fool I am. Today it appears to me to be a wise approach. You have no lack of wisdom I can suggest to you, and I am confident you are the right man for the responsibilities you bear, and that I have no business seeking to influence you regarding, nor mean to.
