Greetings Economists,
Personally I organize amongst Bisexuals through the local magazine,
Anything that Moves. I organize at work amongst admin which is the work I
do (entry level FTE's). I work in the African American Community in
whatever way I can. I organize in the disabled community around web access
issues, and around cognitive disabilites.
Also I think electronic tools of communication point at new ways of
understanding organizing people. So I try here (pen-l) to put out what I
think about the structure of the business of "knowledge production in IT"
and see what sort of response that happens. I think the capitalist theories
of "Community of Practice" and "Communities of Interest" are very
interesting in the sense they look at knowledge production and management
more explicitly than does the left so far.
It seems to me the recession is pointing toward a crash economically,
and that electronic forms of organizing offer very fast new ways of
organizing to respond to an economic crisis. So I think that is an
important area to concentrate upon building up socialist organization of the
masses. Both in terms offered by news outlet of networks of left minded
people , and as a new way to organize connection itself in the sense that
distance does not matter.
thanks,
Doyle
