Hi everyone.
I've come here to dicuss politics with my fellow leftists.
I myself am a market socialist and hope to meet socialists of all flavours.

Hi, and welcome.

By 'market socialist', do you mean you support capitalism?

I do not support capitalism, i.e the owners of the means of production gaining unfair rights to the goods created by other's labour.

I don't support centrally planned socialism though.
I favour markets for commodities,with democratic-socialist co-ops doing the production,and with new investment capital being raised via a flat-tax being made on all capital and then being givenout via local public banks.
Here's a good overview of the thoery called Economic democracy.

I fail to see what capitalism has to with markets,this is a right-wing myth that must be refuted.
Capitalism is all about the relationship between the "owners" of the means of production and the workers.
