At this point the last thing you can call Bitshares is communist.
The new idea over there is to divide the value proposition Bitshares brings to the table into different pieces and auction them off the highest bidder. Looks like most of the community is getting behind it.
This project has real potential to subvert TPTB and their economic stranglehold, but instead seems to be trying to emulate them.

I am supremely disappointed. If there's a dire need for funding I would gladly take dilution over this any day of the week. It's still a cool project for what it is though.
