Do You Have Any Political Aspirations?

[The Dharma Bum]

I did address it. It's not my fault you don't comprehend the result.

Whatever dude, I clearly said i didn't want to take your property by force and you completely ignored me and restated the same argument. You do this every time your back is to the wall and you can no longer support your position. Just stop.

This is my belief:

If I can't convince you then it's not worth doing. What are you going to do with that?

[exploited]

So let's be clear: if I lay claim to a piece of land, and my claim is based upon historical ownership and good stewardship, I will not be forced to relinquish that land under your proposed system... is that right?

[The Dharma Bum]

If you were forced to do anything it would be an entirely different philosophy than what I propose.

Probably for an equitable system to take hold in the popular psyche there would need to be some very productive collective activity on a municipal level. When rurals see how that can work for them there will be incentive to adopt a similar cultural innovation.

I think Austin is a likely candidate for the first free city in the US. And that is my political aspiration. While freequality (I just coined that term lol) may seem unbelievable in the context of your rural hometown here it's an entirely different story.

[The Dharma Bum]

freakwality, yeah thats the ticket.

Collective production already exists here in Austin.

And to name two global business es that have successfully embraced some of these principles I've discussed I give you WL Gore and Associate, and even better the Mondragon federation of worker co-operatives.

Many mainstream business have embraced ideas like profit sharing etc. Whether you like it or not the world is changing and privately owned production will be a thing of the past. People are becoming conscious of how they are being exploited. There's no need to overthrow society and call it something else. All we need to do is insinuate enough of these ideas into practice that the development of collective production will be a natural progression.

It's happening.
