I know what you are but what am I?

NDP President Anne McGrath said [Marshall] Ganz stressed the left needs to do a better job of connecting its message with people's values.

"The right-wing has had a real ability to promote particular values such as self-reliance and competition," said McGrath. "We need to be more obvious about what (our) values are," she said. (Ottawa Citizen)

It wouldn't hurt, its high time for Jack Layton to come out of the closet and say 'I am a communist.'

By implication Anne McGrath statements suggest that the NDP is categorically opposed to competition- Even hard line socialists believe in limited a semi-competitive market with strong regulation and public ownership

Self-reliance: Given what we've seen of Jack Layton its a small miracle that he is able to get out of bed each morning without government assistance
