    So, if we can get to a process that frees us from all of the showmanship and power politics of the current system, then we can have more labor-based participation in the politics of *labor* and asset / resource utilization, since that's what's at the heart of it all.

    We can keep track of labor input primarily as an *issue*, instead of as an abstract, numerical money-based quantity. I'd say the only two types of numbers / quantities we'd have to track concerning labor value would be labor hours and labor difficulty. I outlined this priority-issue-oriented politics a few months ago:

    If there was a shortage of some goods or services -- based on outstanding demand -- then that would make work hours (labor credits) that much more available for anyone who wanted to accumulate labor hours / credits. If the work involved in producing those goods or services was particularly difficult, or required a high degree of education or training, or was particularly distasteful, then the *multiplier* attached to the labor hours for that kind of work would go up, as a section of the locality's population would become impatient enough to re-issue their demand -- this time at a higher multiplier, and at a new priority level.

    This offering of more labor credits would be a debit to the locality's economy, because they would subsequently have to provide compensatory goods and services, as valued by labor credits, to fulfill those issued labor credits. Note that labor credits *would not circulate* -- they would simply be credits made to individuals who fulfilled the labor requirements to receive those credits from the locality.

    Those goods and services that are produced through automation -- that is, highly leveraged labor power -- would most likely be so easily provided -- like drinking water, for example -- that they would fall *outside the system* of labor credits. Once goods and services became so plentiful as to be available in a *surplus* there would no longer be any demand for it -- again, demonstrating that they would fall outside of the formal, official system of labor credits by being commonly available on a daily, ongoing basis.[/quote]

These data can be tracked over time, with adjustments made to either make the process *more* efficient (fewer resources used for the same output), or not, depending on the prioritized demands of the locality.

    > Do you believe the attacks on the WTC were an inside job of sorts?


    Yeah, the reasoning goes as follows:

    Two airplanes crashed into two World Trade Center buildings on the day of 9-11, yet * three * World Trade Center buildings collapsed * straight down * into their own footprints. The third building was the World Trade Center 7 building, not hit by any airplane.

    All three buildings were structurally sound and had steel frames. No conventional explanation, not even including the airplanes, can account for the * straight down * collapse, and * near-total pulverization * of *all* building materials constituting all three buildings.
  8. ckaihatsu
    Assuming that some sort of prior installation of explosives, consistent with the industry practice of controlled demolition, would be required to cause these collapses and disintegrations, we can inquire into how such explosives could be installed under the nose of building security.

    Combined with the other anomalous circumstances of the day -- like the airplanes being off-course for so long -- we can conclude that there was a top-level shut-down of normal security procedures that would otherwise have caught and prevented these things from happening.

    I was active locally for about a year or so around the 9-11 issue because I found the response to it from the general left to be unsatisfying. I've since stopped political activity around it as a matter of political priorities. Some of my past activity can be found on the group's message board:

    Hope this helps -- regardless, we know that U.S. imperialism profited handsomely from the shock and jingoistic mobilization that 9-11 enabled. (Sorry for the delayed response -- I don't usually check this page.)

    Comradely,


    Chris

Political Statement
[1] The sun shines down at just the right intensity -- neither too little or too much -- to force an intricate interplay of organic materials animated by the sun's energy. The living processes build up to higher levels of nestedness, interdependence, and complexity. The abundance of available food and source materials -- varying depending on location and era -- allows each organism ample time outside of securing necessities to become increasingly aware and conscious of greater depths of complexity in the external (and internal) world(s). Greater consciousness yields greater abilities and at some point humanity began to procure more food than it could consume in realtime. This development gave rise to a separation of roles in society whereby some could spend more time increasing their awareness while others worked to produce the food for all of society. Those relieved of having to work rationalized themselves as somehow different and better than all other people, and explained their privilege by inventing fictional supernatural beings, or a single supernatural being, who conveniently backed up their reasoning. They consolidated their privileged social position with the use of violent physical force, which the fictional supernatural beings or being said was okay. Meanwhile the rest of humanity has either been working or trying to enjoy their more-or-less similar physical existence as everyone else. Much time and effort, though, is unrecoverably lost due to the existence of those in privileged positions.

[2] I am personally *not* in a privileged position.

[3] Therefore it is in my own best personal interest to co-produce a social world that is relieved of the class division.

[4] Therefore I am a Marxist and active at RevLeft.com.
