Michael The problem with most British Left Intellectuals is that went to either Oxford or Cambridge Universities; home of the Elite. It is difficult to see how one could leave such an institute with radical priorities still intact. Noam Chomsky ...

In every other area we seek to promote peace by endless escalation in the quantity and destructiveness of weapons, so why not in international relations? For example, in high schools we seek to reduce violence by arming the students. In our cou...

"Dismantle the system of production for profit rather than production for use." Must change profit motive! Yes! Got it! Thank you! Chomsky always on point with that. 19:51 pretty much breaks down why changing profit motive will be ...

This article is out of date. The agreement discussed here was massively rejected by the student organizations. The strike has continued, to the point where the government passed draconian anti-student legislation last week. The new law may have ba...

I just love this piece. Have just spent much of the day wondering why so many of our friends in Samos are so fearful about taking action and so pessimistic about what we can achieve together. Then I read this. It speaks so strongly to what ...

You have to be a sustainer to comment on this. You became a sustainer to trash the site? The least you could do is to come up with an articulate argument against the Parecon proposal.

Despite my own strong sympathies for anarchism as an ideal, or long duration goal, I think Mr. Glick is right. We can’t reasonably expect anything to change without an electoral component to our strategy. The problem is that for the last 32 ...

We are on our way there. We just need some positive examples of non-authoritarian workplaces, schools and housing communities. We need more people with these views talking to each another.

Don't forget that Canada's national system started in one small (population-wise) and fairly poor province. Once the rest of the country saw it in action, it was unstoppable.

Just a note because this looks like it is an important document. In the first of the "views" section of capitalism: I think you should take off the "in" in the second sentence after "consume."

The misfortune of the Left has been badly under-reported, at least from the standpoint of those who care about it. I think they are necessary, the Greens and SPD having abandoned so much of what once made them valuable.
