The Manual for the New Society has been presented!
Tomorrow! Do it! Restart the leftist project! Let’s take the ideas in this book and convince as many people as we can! Enough so as to have the support we need to implement these ideas!
It can be done!
“Parecon’s guiding values turn out to be not only well founded, but logical and simple”!
“It is an economic system that institutionalizes self-management, equity, solidarity, diversity, sustainability, and internationalism”! For all!
OMG!
Just what we’ve always wanted!
New Beginnings! Never-before-thought-of-imaginings!
In the spirit of beginnings, the imagination runs wild after deeply and seriously considering life after capitalism. Imagine the effect on the environment (and our survival as a species) if our economic system easily allowed producers and consumers to take environmental costs and benefits into account in decision making, and did not pressure for constant accumulation beyond need or want. Imagine if you and I and all had an economic voice on all matters proportional to how much they affect us, instead of proportional to how much money or power we wield. Imagine a society where things are not intentionally produced in order to dissatisfy or fail so that demand is kept high. Imagine no more mass waste. Imagine no more predatory finance, no more predatory advertising. Innovation that improves the lives of all. Imagine no more unemployment, no more exploitation, no more hierarchy, no more oppression. No more mass incarceration, no more war, no more shanty towns in the shadows of palaces, no more blind obedience. Classlessness. Imagine, “incorporat[ing] a non-instrumental and an expressive moment into all work, and [incorporating] a social moment into all remunerated art, [making] all work into art and all art into work. This society has institutions and systems that make it automatic for us to consider ourselves, each other, the environment, and all the other externalities. It promotes and rewards equity, solidarity, self management, diversity, and sustainability. Imagine No Bosses!
Finally, after 200 years, the Left Has A Vision!
This is it!
