Hi Michael. I wasn't suggesting that what I was attempting to describe or explain was contrary to parecon. But it is a scenario that circumvents the ill thought protestations of the article you were focussed on and an approach I used on anoth...

Hi, Agreed on all counts - except I think neither libcom nor parecon are all that young... albeit they are both being born... But - even though the types of reaction and approach you indicate are natural and incredibly common for being natural -...

Hi Bill, actually, I don't think this type inclination is contrary to parecon... Any consumer unit in parecon could decide to pool the income of its members, and treat its consumption all together, too - with any agreed approach to additional...

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...

Having a way of allocating income, and thus a guiding norm for income allocation, and a means of accomplishing that norm, whether implicit or explicit, is simply unavoidable

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?
