This really is a mystery to me. The debate over whether Michael, or anyone else for that matter, is or is not an anarchist is probably the best (and saddest) example of revolutionaries focusing on the wrong topic. It is a complete wast...

Glad you like it Yoann. You raise a couple of issues saying - “It's going to be diffciult to have it explicitly as an IOPS project I think in terms of attracting folks and getting funding.” Perhaps we could set things up in such...

Hi Jean-Francois, Great to se one more scandinavian translation of IOPS. I am a member of Parecon-Sweden. I think there is a lot to gain from cooperation between the scandinavian countries. There is already a cooperation between Sweden and Finland...

Gregory, thanks for comments. Like you say, sharing experiences helps to deal with the frustration in how people react to any attemt to introduce a new model like Parecon.
