"A World without Money" (London)

[JimN]

What does it take to produce all of the things we need in order to live? Human labour applied to nature given raw materials. Money enters the equation only because the means to life are owned by a privileged minority - the capitalist class.

Think of a different world. One in which the means of production, indeed all of the world's resources are owned in common, and democratically controlled, by all of its people. Where, therefore, goods and services are produced solely to be used and not for sale and profit: money no longer has any role to play. Where for example food is grown and processed simply because we need to eat, and everyone has free access according to need - so no one goes hungry! In this different world just imagine how human affairs will be organised and the possibilities for everyday life.

The speaker has a good name. That is all.

 

[Casually Red]

damned sneaky socialists...i had a look to see what they were charging in but they anticipated that tactic beforehand...shakes fist

 

[TopCat]

I never found much that i would disagree with ideology wise with the SPGB. the problem is they think by having lots of open talks we may affect change. This seems less likely than smashing shit up and knowing what you don't like.
