Intro to Participatory Economics

A short introduction to Participatory Economics. Sorry about the spelling errors. I'd have to remove this video and upload a new one to fix it, deleting all the commenters' discussion and breaking links to the video.

So when Mr Johnson is found to not be able to do the job he lied to get, then what? Also, why couldn't this dude simply tell his boss of the fraud?  Lying to get a promotion is plausible but telling the truth isn't?

This is liberal bullshit from morons who are a drain on society

[MrIzzyDizzy]

there is a better system - the resource based economy - using technology to eliminate as much work as possible for all people -while creating an abundance of all things and sharing out put such that everyone has what they want every time they want it - like the zip car model for everything - decisions are open sourced based -people who know work it out - there is no income everyone has everything - watch zeitgeist moving forward and zeitgeist addendum to get an introduction about it

THIS IS AMAZING! GREAT JOB and THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for making this!!! :-D

How come I didn't find out about this til 2012 if it was created in 2007???

We need much more stuff like this to translate IOPS into more friendly terms :-)

Thanks again! Spreading this! My name is Misty on IOPS btw Jason :-)

limits humans to being servants of the society, instead of liberated individuals? that ship has already sailed. It is quite obvious that you do not come from the same part ofthe country that I do.

How do workers' councils have an "unevenly focused power"?

There will not be a lack of job specialization.

Parecon does not focus on LTV.

[Axelgear2006]

Unevenly focused power in worker's councils, a lack of job specialization, and a focus on the labour theory of value... This sounds utterly terrible, the latter part especially. It encourages wasteful inefficiency by making work that takes more time and effort more valuable than work that actually gets tasks done. It limits freedom of movement amongst workers and consumers. It limits humans to being servants of the society, instead of liberated individuals.

Good attempt, but not successful.

[afaultytoaster]

"balanced job complexes" sounds terrible when applied across industries. much better to simply reduce the working hours of employees in unfavourable industries and shift more people there from other industries. this is possible because capitalist societies waste lots of labour on massive unemployment, duplication of effort (via competing firms) and jobs that wouldn't be needed under socialism like advertising

Let me check my messages. I'll let you know either way ;^)

[MsSexySocialist]

Sorry but I actually thought you stopped talking to me.
