I already planned to attend Jason, so I think asking for mainland European advocates to go to the talks is an excellent idea! Once all details are set, I'm also more than willing to start distributing flyers in universities, unions and try to get ...

Hi Jack,I certainly agree that PPS-UK is currently having the most effect and putting the most effort into ParEcon advocacy, so I'm certainly paying attention to how they are doing things. Duplicating their tactics and efforts is thus what I'd lik...

 On the contrary Jack!  PPS-UK could be a lot more participatory.  Obviously if we had more active members we would be more participatory – so that is one way things could improve.  Also we could have better organisation....

There is no centralized state in the sense I suspect you mean in a parecon. There is nothing to finance, regarding income - if you think of it slightly differently than people are used to. Society produces outputs - people are remunerated with cla...
