Albert's ZSpace Friends

These things probably tell you something about me - I got my initial education in social justice listening to Bob Marley and the Wailers as a teenager, then in my late 20's reading Chomsky which led me to Z. I identify with the humanist world view. My favouite comedian is John Shuttleworth. I enjoy all kinds of "roots" music including folk, reggae, bl...
George, Justin | Australia
Hi, I live in Melbourne, Australia, and I think I first came across Znet courtesy of the linear notes of a Propagandhi album along time ago. Soon after that Michael Albert gave a talk at my university- University of Queensland- where I first encountered in any detail his proposals on Parecon, which opened my eyes to exciting and new possibilities for progressive change. I particularly related ...

Allred, Sky | United States
Looking for like-minded people for networking purposes. I'd like to trade information and ideas with others on here, and would like to be informed about events or ways to get involved with others on various issues. I'm interested in figuring out ways that I can be more directly involved in working with others.

He was raised along the Columbia River like a postmodern version of Moses, except for the fact that Moses didn't have a tremendous lantern jaw or a ridiculous mandible.

M, Rob | United States
Since 2000, I have been involved in left activist movements of various types. In 2001, I attended ZMI and had a wonderful experience. The majority of my focus has been on human rights work and opposition to U.S. imperialism in its various guises. I agree with the view put forth in the book Liberating Theory, that oppressions in various arenas, be they the economic system, the state, patriarchy,...

I live in London, U.K, where I work as a website designer with my brother at Glowbox Design. We aspire to implement pareconish ideals in our working lives.

I am from Saint Louis, MO. My left interests mainly include addressing economic injustice, although I think all spheres need to be addressed in the long run.
