Anders, Thanks. Your experience and reaction is precisely what the whole process aims at attaining...but that it fails, at times, with some people, isn't too surprising. At such times, advocates simply have to carry on trying to address ...

ZSocial will take care of all of your ease of use issues - perfectly reasonable concerns, which, however, should never trump assessment of quality of information. As far as your non leftist friends - well, isn't the point that over time...

Charley, I suspect we may be headed into circles on some of these matters. But I will respond point by point...briefly... You mention "The lack of an email feed" and say that its presence on various other sites" is the main...

Hi, Joseph, I am with you in respecting and feeling a kinship with old school anarchism...and yes, I do think most of those folks - well, honestly, actually all of them, would be very positive about parecon and would also be about as perturbed as...

In response to your friend - a bit briefly, given that I will be posting a full article soon … > I agree with some of these criticisms but I find that a lot of them seem to be strawmen, so I want to sharpen the ones that I t...

Okay, since I am working on the longer essay, I will be very brief, and a bit more "assertive." Do you agree that if some anarchists are turned off by not using anarchist lingo - that is a sad commentary on them, not on parecon? It ough...

Again, I just don't know if this is your concern - or you believe it is an anarchist concern, or what... Briefly, people can work all over the place, so long as they can fit into production processes intelligently - that is to say, hold coher...

I am not sure if you are raising your views, or just views... I don't think any anarchist has ever said anything like this - so I may not add it to the list. If it is your views, and you want a reply, then after the reply essay, I guess raise...

This will all be dealt with - but meanwhile, two things to note. (1) The determination of the onerousness of work is done by assessing the work, socially, not the experience of a particular person doing it. For me, doing surgery would be the worst...

The thing I find most strange, honestly, about all the concerns is that while for various folks who feel them - not you, I suspect - they are deep and strong enough to cause the rejection of the vision - often quite forcefully - for those sa...

I agree with you that some of - in fact in my view pretty much all of - the criticisms are confused, or misinformed about parecon in the first place, or wrong in simple ways...but that you or I feel that way about some, doesn't mean no one fin...

You are quite right - it gives one a feeling of reaching so hard to find something to disagree with that one becomes attached to claims one would otherwise easily dismiss. This is true for a good many of the concerns folks raise...or so it seems t...

For clarity, given the opening essay, there is nothing at all anarchist in your stance - quite the contrary. But, that aside... you write: "Of this I am sure: there is no purpose or reason for this life. It just is what it is. &nb...
