Sorry, Haris, but it's not irrelevant--the point is that this particular article isn't one of the "articles attaching so much to the American public opinion" that you're taking issue with. It's a useful summary of US publ...

Stop Kony, Arm Uganda! Sounds like a good way to deal with a murderous thug, except for one problem: Uganda is controlled by a murderous thug, Yoweri Museveni, whom we already arm to the teeth. Thus, before dousing ourselves with the waters of rig...

Hi Michael, Glad you wrote this blog. You may be interested in a piece I wrote last May about the virtual dictator's (Museveni) handling of the February 2011 elections and the democracy protests in the spring (http://www.zco...

I think there's a bit of confusion here I can hopefully clear up. This article wasn't written by Norman Finkelstein, but is re-post by Finkelstein (on his own website and here on ZNet) of the article announcing the poll, as far as I can te...

Hi Joe, I agree with your perspective and can add something to the comparison of the death rates in China and India. Some years ago, when the deaths in China were being bandied about, it was also reported that China's barefoot doctor program, ...

I agree that this is a question of morality. And I like the punishment you prescribe. I will also talk to the muses and see that they refrain from visiting the artists in question.

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...

Michael - So glad to hear your update on ZSocial. I have been curious about whether ZSocial (or FaceLeft - these are interchangeable terms?) is being designed coordinately with or separately from Global Square, a huge decentralized social network&...

I agree fully with Paul's assessment, the problems with these social networks are not to be taken lightly and Michael has done superb work with laying out some of the central ones. ZSocial (and IOPS) are much needed alternatives, looking stro...

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...

From looking at the polls, and especially from talking to people, the problem doesn't seem to be that people need to be "awakened" the extent of business influence on society. Take a look at the Gallup poll results from this January,...

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...
