Bill, You say that, "I think it's only reasonable to suggest that many people will enter into such arrangements under parecon and will in fact have to." If I am right, you mean people choosing to collectively consume ...

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...

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?
