What can I say - if changing the world depends on movement participants reading merleau ponty - we are doomed. If there is something in merleau ponty, and not elsewhere, that is very important, fine, very good, but then abram or someone else needs...

Frist, I am not sure a person inside the schools of thought I was addressing, say the author of the piece I posted, would even recognize this as closely related, much less part and parcel. Sceond, I agree it is not nearly as obscure as the piece ...

I am not even sure the piece I inserted above is part of the post modern school - which is, however, certainly full of horrible texts. See some of my and others essays on that topic - mine are on znet.... This was suggested to me as an example of...

I believe I said if it was in plain language, we would find simple truths dolled up, meaningless material, and some errors. But it isn't in plain language...and so i asked for some to explain it. Until that is done, I simply can't understand it....

Hi... I read about Global Square just like you. I honestly don't know anything more about it. No, we have been getting this ready for quite sometime, not knowing about that at all - and I guess vice versa, too...not sure. How alike or differ...

Facebook also has lots of left content - much more left than this material - but that doesn't make it a great place, a good place, or even an acceptable place for left strategizing, socializing, etc. That it is good to contribute on such broad...

Hi - I looked at the items you linked... they didn't seem to me to be remotely like what we are building... much less specifically for the left and under left auspices - and thus adaptable to the needs of the left, etc. I guess others wi...

Toshimaru Ogura's review of Parecon. He is responding to an Anti-Capitalism Even at the World Social Forum. I haven't read the entire piece, one long paragraph is about how your councils aren't new, so it's a shame he's only re...

The book Parecon us the most widely translated - but I can't remember if there was a version in Japanese. I am pretty sure there was supposed to be - but don't know if it ever really happened. Obviously I would love for it to happen - and ...

Hello Justin, I hope we can agree that for anything we say or do, the issue is, what is the impact on our efforts to win change - and ultimately a new society. There are certainly things we say and or do that have a different basis and different...

We have done it to death on Z - debates, essays, etc. But you are right, this kicked it off again. And that is good. My own suspicioin is that taking empty buildings and putting them to good ends can be quite viable. But you need a large enough s...
