Description
We are a network of people committed to inspiring a vision of an alternative way of living where all the world's resources are owned in common and democratically controlled by communities on an ecologically sustainable and socially harmonious basis. We believe such a society will no longer require money, markets, or states, and can only be established democratically from the bottom up without the intervention of politicians or leaders. We call on anyone broadly sympathetic with our aims to join with us to help build a strong, inclusive, and principled, movement for radical change in a spirit of cooperation, friendship and solidarity.
This forum has been specifically set up for individuals and groups within the broad non-market anti-statist sector to exchange ideas and strengthen ties within this sector. Anyone wishing to take this one step further is welcome to join the World in Common group itself which contains representatives from several different groups and strands of thinking within our sector.
The World in Common project has a collective blog, Spaces of Hope, at http://spacesofhope.blogspot.com. List members are urged to look at it and to post their comments on this forum. We would appreciate your feedback. All list members are strongly urged to also periodically check the Files and Links sections of this Yahoogroup for matters of interest to our sector, as well as the Links and Theory sections of our website.
