[Iyf-ct] Z Communications' "Reimagining Society" project

[pvh at webbedfeet.co.za]

And how to calculate contribution? My problem with Albert is the problem I
have with all "utopian socialism" - its a schema on paper just waiting to
be implemented. I've been reading through essays, though, and there's all
sorts of different ideas out there, reflecting the fact that we face
multiple sources (mechanisms, levels, not sure what to call 'em exactly)
of oppression and exploitation.

Having said that, I just discovered this morning that someone in another
city who I barely know has decided that I'm politically a problem.
Solidarity, never? *sigh*
