Discussion will follow till 10:00 p.m. This is part of the VAACC's third meeting to help build momentum for an anti-capitalist movement in Vancouver. Under the presumption that "Another world is possible!", The Vancouver Parecon Collective will present various models of capitalist, socialist and democratically planned economies; specifically participatory economics. The purpose is to orient an anti-capitalist movement towards thinking about what alternatives are available. We will explore the desirability and feasibility of these economies and pose the question, "If not these alternatives, than what?". Come participate in the discussion, Saturday, May 15th, at the Dogwood Center, 706 Clarke Drive. The Vancouver Parecon Collective http://vanparecon.resist.ca
