"The Take"

[TheKwas]

I'm not sure if this documentary has already been talked about in this forum, but I didn't find any thread about it on the first two pages.

It's a documentary about a group of workers taking over their closed-down factory after the economic collapse of 2001 and get it back producing goods. It's made by Director Avi Lewis and Author Naom Klein ("No Logo", she's also a writer on Zmags)

I highly recommed it. Link (http://www.nfb.ca/thetake/)

It's quite possiblely the best example of Anarchy/ParEcon in work in the modern world.

Yah I told everyone about it when it came out, but there wasn't much interest, so it could sure use another plug. I wish I were in Avi Lewis's family.His dad and his grandfather are two of the countries most powerful left wing politicians.

It's not an example of anarchy. I don't know what "ParEcon" is, but I doubt most of the workers involved do either.

What it is, is an inspiring workers' struggle. There's no need to shoehorn it into an ideological preconception.
