So, someone was trying to have a thread about Towards a New Socialism. Here seems like a sage enough thread to start that back up if you like.

All it takes is one squeaker. But then some trash is overlooked. It’s all on their whim.

>>19622073
I too am against banks, usury and accumulative currency

And Zionism, but that’s more to do with nationalism.

An app to run non accumulative currency.
(At first a localized supplemental. People will still be expected to pay their taxes)
But broad outreach to get neighborhoods and local businesses together to make decisions on their own. (Groups of up to a hundred are good to start but then as many as 4000 to 5000 need to get together for the decisions. Finding places for that is a challenge)
Convincing that broad spectrum of constructing their own better system is challenging enough, but I acknowledge that we’re going to need to convert some military.
Big steps.

>which again, is the problem.
Yes, no need to reiterate what I just said
>Everyone else does.
Wrong. Evidently.
>Keep telling yourself [the truth]
Okay. Hey, read this book yet?

>>19132834
Ever read it?

Hey, know any app designers?

With #laborvouchers

>>18358143
Replace it. It’s imaginary value anyway

>non-transferable
Of course it’s transferable. You buy the cup of coffee, pair of shoes etc. and the credit gets canceled out. The maker of the coffee, the shoes, etc. are paid for their time.
And yeah, there’s an expiration.

Personal “contracts”? Who’s to prohibit? I don’t see a problem

>>18083444
The fuck do you expect?

I want the spontaneous eruption of communal direct democracies so we don’t have this kind of thing

>>18068952
>social control
Free economy is better.

>>18052812
I have a couple of books that can explain what what I’m stumbling at better.
In fact there’s every reason to believe that such an about face in what motivates everyone’s daily life, would do fucking wonders for our brains and general societal interactions.
WORTH A FUCKING SHOT

Labor voucher. Get your voucher for time worked, it’s personalized, so no one can steal it. You take it to to buy a coffee, a minutes worth is canceled out for the time it took to make the coffee. Barista is making her own vouchers for the time she’s putting in.
Like Bitcoin, or so I hear, it eliminates banks. You need a simple exchange of currency, simplify it, and take its teeth out. Stop valuing it above life itself

Covered. Fuck accumulative currency

>>17879058
How much for the Mona Lisa?

>>17879061
Read (or listen to the link I gave) Towards a New Socialism. Get the whole thing down. It’s a voucher not money.

>>17869588
No. I think a non accumulative currency can act as nice training wheels for a free economy. “Sovereignty among nations” is also something we can do without. Actually it’s what we need to do in order to survive. State-capitalism is literally killing us.

HAH

Capitalism drives this culture of “consumerism”.

The accumulative properties of the currency is the problem. It motivates greed, therefore only the most sociopathic become successful and placed in leadership positions.
Your description is laughable btw, bugman.

>>17717942
It’s in a book

>>17717953
Through the magic of organizing. There is a Great Depression coming, and people will be quite receptive to a working alternative.
The neets will hide indoors till the power goes out. But they’d sooner hang themselves than till a small garden (this last was probably just vindictiveness. Nevermind)

>>17425889
Was the dragon metaphor too deep?

>>17425876
Exactly. The accumulative properties create/maintain unjustifiable hierarchies, institutionalize bribery and corruption on every level. All of history shows this little keystone to be whats poisoning us.

>You have to change the value system
What I have in mind
The value would be ourselves. Being nice and social isn’t “whoring”
