In my own experience - perhaps yours is different - open source is not just apolitical. It is very very narrowly focused, foregoing options to actually have serious impact and positions. Sadly. And it even takes this stance proudly and milit...

I am not sure what you mean - a synonym is struggle. It is what you do seeking change. The women's movement, labor movement, civil rights movement, anti war movement - they all fight, or struggle, for change. Why must we do it? Becuase ...

Facebook - and Google, Twitter, etc. - are massive corporate media machines that care about sociality, information, truth, or justice only as means to profit and power

On the cheap, so to speak, we are going to try to deliver a site that works quite like facebook - but for the left, and with additional virtues. We will see! Sustainers will be able to access it first, and soon, helping us test it and develop it.

Hi Frederic, That is logically correct, I agree. And I think some parecon supporters likely have just that view. On the other hand, I think it will be a minority perspective among people who like parecon, probably more so as time goes along. The...

I don't think we disagree about the concerns, actually, only their importance. There are two reasons, mainly, to say working people will not relate to a proposed vision - so why bother having one? One, a vision doesn't pay off in t...
