I'll try to be precise and to the point. I have no great problem with the the parecon renumeration system per se.. But I think it overlooks a likely development within a parecon environment. During the 80' s there existed a workers/housin...

Michael, That was a very good response and one that I found quite useful in furthering an understanding of Parecon. I have experienced much the same as you in talking to / debating with those with whom I have different thoughts on the same...

When we get to vote on things for our IOPS organization in the future, how do we prevent people from making thousands of fictitious memberships worldwide and thus influencing, fraudulently, the direction of the organization?

I stumbled on this old George Orwell piece that describes a coordinator class dynamic while reviewing a power-worshipping American. "... they belong to the "managerial" class of which Burnham writes. That is, they are not managers i...

I don't think it's hard to see why Arundhati Roy and Chomsky would feel and affinity for Michael Albert's concerns with a coordinator class (or Professional Managerial Class, PMC) and attempts to model a system that would avoid power c...

I guess it's too much to hope that using the term Professional Managerial Class(PMC) instead of coordinator class would clear up this kind of misunderstanding. "On the one hand, Parecon requires a massive amount of effective,...

He links to a Japanese translation of Bob Black's The Abolition of Work, and also covers the 'Primitivists'(John Zerzan) criticism. The whole piece reads more like a survey of 'anti-capitalist' stances than a focussed response ...

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 ...

Every once in a while I search for information about Parecon in Japanese. I can't find the book you mention here. Can you give me the name of a publisher or someone to get in touch with? I haven't found much Japanese writing on Pare...

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 ...

These type studies always seem odd to me. Humans can obviously be solidaritous and caring, but can also be brutal and nasty. Booth are visible, therefore undeniable. Institutions that provoke the former and curtail the latter are obviously possib...
