For what its worth, I think Mike Albert is correct on the rapacious, ever-growing authoritarian-totalitarian beast that is Facebook. FB is a power-serving/power-seeking disaster: a vast and insidiously intrusive corporate commercial spy...

Kind of amazing video, both Michael and Hamish Campbell seem to be living in two different worlds. A meeting of the minds here could be quite valuable since both men seem devoted to making the world a better place.

I thought this interview was in the tradition of the BBC Program 'Hardtalk.' Personally, I prefer a less aggressive approach. I found that the interviewers chief interest was, "Why not something else [besides ZSocial]?&quo...

"... these things go on for decades and nothing happens. Nobody does anything. Then in a twinkling everything changes." While there is obviously some truth in this concerning the surprising scale of last year's events, spontaneity is being pl...

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...

I think for the issue raised by Michael to be discussed productively we need to discuss the difference between slogans and analysis. I am borrowing a bit from another z-net-er (Paasonen, Karl-Erik’s comment on Hahnel’s similarly ...

I understand and sympathise with the concerns of this group. While aware the regime was despotic, it seems I underestimated the severity of recent repression. I have never subscribed to the 'My enemy's enemy is my friend' position, tho...

this video has a cut right after 51:10, as he begins to describe the reaction of congress to the recent emissions reports: "...Congress reacted to this, ...they reacted by enacting <cut> ... a problem ...".

This is an incredibly insightful and constructive commentary. If we all can remember to think like Rebecca we will surely find powerful ways for Occupy to move forward this spring.

Mr. Quigley is correct on all counts, and is right to encourage more folks fighting against corporate might. My concern is that there's not as much cohesion as could be regarding the panoply of anti-corporate efforts, particularly when i...

Possible duplicate of my previous comment. English is not my mother language so perhaps it is just my fault, but it seems to me that last sentence is incomplete. I understand it refers to Regensburg' s Archbishop Williamson and to his p...
