Re-Introducing Myself and My Work

Hi Folks,

I've noticed that this list is not very active, with the most recent posts being in Spanish.

Are there "lurkers" out there waiting to be stimulated into discussing eco/anarcho-syndicalist proposals and ideas relative to alternatives to the Capitalist status quo.

I am a 55 year old Friend who has a BS in Environmental Studies, Graduate and lifelong study and conceptual development in the fields of Economics (particularly Comparative Economic Systems), Regional and Resource Planning. I perceive myself to be somewhat unusual in that along the way while having to find work in the Capitalist system, I became a Socialist with a MBA degree. This has served me well in understanding and developing a somewhat new field of study, thought, and discussion which I call "Regional and Resource Allocation".

My thesis is that we gravely need to fundamentally change the way in which resources are allocated to and within communities, and within and among economic sectors with the mission of ecological economic neighborhood/inter-community/inter-regional/worldwide redevelopment based on the principles of equity, humanity, inclusion, quality of life, sustainability and peace.

I hope we can begin, again.

Thanks.

Mike Morin

With Regards to Capitalists, An Open Letter to the World from a US Worker

To the People and the Government(s):


Save, Save, Save...not spend, spend, spend

Save that 1.2 trillion, we're going to need it to start over to participate in a world economy that is based on inclusion, quality of life, humanity, equity, sustainability, and peace.

All the U.S. Government should do regarding the banking and investment situation is honor their deposit insurance "obligations", pay unemployment insurance to displaced workers, and let them and others affected apply for food stamps and SSI.

This dysfunctional Capitalist system needs to be fundamentally rearranged. The suicidal, ecocidal, genocidal, opulent, ostentatious "standard of living" supply side machine based on unabashed greed is failing, and throwing more money at a dysfunctional and inequitable economic system is not only outrageous but is destined to fail.

Let the greedy Capitalist class who thought that they could invest their way to materialism heaven, learn their lesson the hard way and join us that have learned and want to teach a quality of life based on a modest earned income and shared wealth. Let them join the working class and let them mingle.

Let them join us in a unified world socialism. We will welcome them, if they are honest hard-working brothers and sisters with good intentions and love for humankind, all youth and children of the world, and future generations.
