    Lightbulb Support - Communism 2.0 - a strategic praxis

    I am devising a radical new strategic praxis for the advancement of the abolition of oppression due to want, ignorance, insecurity and humiliation, a program that I call Communism 2.0. With the support of the interested I hope to spend the next year developing and writing up this praxis for free distribution.
    The overarching idea is that communism as a praxis for tackling injustice and oppression is in need of a major overhaul for the 21st century. A key component is the realisation that the best organisational vehicle for the communist cause is not, or no longer, the nation-state but instead the transnational corporation. The program calls for and elucidates a methodology for creating a global people's corporation. A corporation that like any kind of transnational corporation can fluidly reach anyone on earth without territorial restraints but unlike most all corporations it will exist to serve the interests of all especially those most in need.
    To ensure the productive power of this people's corporation is directed at improving the welfare of all and does not become itself a source of oppression, membership of the organisation will be contingent on a contract derived from Marx's maxim "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs". Thus the "executives" who have authority over the corporation's resources will have explicitly agreed to work for the greater good.

    Why would people give you money for this?
    For progress and socialism, against reactionary anti-capitalism.

    For the mass party and working class action, against substitutionism and sectarianism.

    For workers' ownership, against both statism and neo-liberalism.

    Is this a troll?

    If it's not, what makes you qualified to do a complete overhaul of communism?

    Also, why do you need 22k pounds?

    I don't think transnational corporations have as much freedom as you think they do. Corporations absolutely have territorial restraints, both in the sense of logistics and trade agreements. This is pretty poorly thought out, why would anyone give you money if you apparently have not even done elementary research on your subject before approaching investors with your revolutionary business plan?

    Not sure if this is a troll or not. But you better listen up because this is deep. Carmel hands are used for terror. They are like scary lunch digets.

    On the chance this is not a troll post. A+ for effort, but lets pump the breaks. There is a reason Marx is still talked about to this day. If you want people talking about 21st communism you should read/listen to hardt maybe some zeke. Get some ideas and organize them first. Know what you want in your little communist utopia first, and then come disscuss it with your fellow comrades on rev left to patch some holes. Because the only way to pass communist chear is to sing out loud for all to hear. 1
    Left communism is to the revolution as The Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity.

    Every bourgeois politicians swears to work for the greater good. As long as you have "executives", there will be no "greater good". As long as a small sect of the world controls the resources, they will never be distributed fairly.

    I looked it over and not sure this would entice the workers of the world.

    The best idea I've seen yet, is the Resource Based Economy that is promoted by The Venus Project:

    The term and meaning of a Resource Based Economy was originated by Jacque Fresco. It is a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

    Modern society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing and medical care; update our educational system; and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society.

    A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population. In an economy based on resources rather than money, we could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.

    Consider the following examples: At the beginning of World War II the US had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was no, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.

    In a resource-based economy all of the world's resources are held as the common heritage of all of Earth's people, thus eventually outgrowing the need for the artificial boundaries that separate people. This is the unifying imperative.

    This is just a short excerpt see: Resource Based Economy for more information.

    From the home page:
    The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any socio-economic system that has gone before. It calls for a straightforward redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable.

    im guessing the 22k is to actually start the company.


    though it is a novel concept of confronting global capitalism with a global communist company of sorts, its rather silly. if competing capitalism out of existence worked, the 3 peaces by kruschev wouldn't have been a joke. capitalism has something fundamentally different from communism that when playing by capitalisms rules, it will win. it has profit
