Participatory Economics

Author: Michael Albert

This is the second part of a speech delivered to a CNT Sponsored gathering in Barcelona, Spain, October 11, 2011, published on Zcommunications

Participatory Economics, or parecon, which the replacement for capitalism that I advocate, is built on just four institutional commitments.

Parecon is therefore not a blueprint for a whole economy. It is a description of key features of just a few centrally important aspects of an economy.

Parecon is enough, and just enough, for us to know that with parecon future people will self manage their economic lives as they decide.

#14Ja – World Day of popular assemblies

#WPAD : World Popular Assembly Day

SinceMay 15, 2011a movement unprecedented in form and substance challenges the”representative democracy”. This movement has spread fromSpainaround the world despite the countless media manipulation and police repression.

The Occupy movement has much to gain from its symbolic eviction. But only if it evolves beyond Zuccotti

The mayor held a press conference later to say: “The First Amendment protects speech. It doesn’t protect the use of tents and sleeping bags to take over a public space.” Previously, the mayor had declared: “New York City is the city where you can come and express yourself. What was happening in Zuccotti Park was not that.” The protesters, he went on, had taken over the park, “making it unavailable to anyone else.” I suppose it could be said that any demonstration makes a given space “unavailable to anyone else.” And as for “expressing yourself,” well, that’s not what the First Amendment says, either.

Mars naar Athene

Waarom gaan we op stap?

Na de Europese ‘Indignados’ die in juli naar Brussel vertrokken, zijn wij met een dertigtal personen van alle nationaliteiten te voet vertrokken   op 9 november van Nice naar Athene langs Rome.

In de context van het betuttelen van Griekenland en daarna van Italië, willen we onze solidariteit betuigen tegenover deze twee volkeren en tegenover alle volkeren in de strijd.
