Right on! We have a thing or two to learn about Participatory Society as well. Folks need to read Hegemony or Survival!

I was impressed that Michael Albert went with Chomsky. He sort of spearheads Participatory Society on the Z Net web site. But it's hard to learn more about it there through the forums; they are quite clique-ish, unfortunately, which is hilarious; because Chomsky of all people is very accessible and friendly with correspondence. But with the others, sometimes it's like trying to converse with someone who pretends not to understand simple English; only leftish/ activist jargon- it can be a bit off-putting to us ordinary mortals who are simply trying to learn more. =)

The articles, however, are informative and much can be read re: Venezuela and Participatory Society on Z Net. What the workers are doing there is a real model for us in the west as we face the decline of capitalism.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.... I haven't had much problem communicating with socialists in Australia... you could come here to live. ;)
