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...

Keith - I don't think we are getting far - we agree about many of the criticisms - we disagree about how to formulate them and who they apply to... let's leave it unless there is something I wrote in my initial piece that actually want to ...

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...

I am not aware of anyone who says it can't - or doesn't happen here. There is a  very large difference between saying the state will infiltrate movements, and does, sometimes just to spy and later catch people - sometimes to literall...

The idea that most of the black bloc is undercover is, I am sorry Keith, total nonsense. Just as it was nonsense that most of the weathemen, or black panthers, or even sds were under cover, in my day - and perhaps it is your day, too. I helped or...

Hi Chris, I find your comment confusing on a few grounds. First, would you prefer that Z - and other outlets - publish only that which you like? No criticism, for example, of anything you find fine? A publisher isn't an entity that you apprec...

No - you are right, but it isn't clear how to deal with it. That is, when someone writes howver gently, however supportively, with some concerns - others can quote out of context. But - if we let that silence all concerns, then we allow the m...
