Rethinking Marxism 2006 International Conference

Friends,
This posting announces the participation of People
For a Cooperative Society in the "Rethinking Marxism 2006
International Conference." The event is being held at the University
of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, from Thursday, October 26th through
Saturday, October 28th, 2006.
For further information about the conference,
please visit the PCS website at www.Cooperative-Society.org,
Chapters & Events page. Specifically, if you will be
attending, or desire information to that end, please contact me via email
from the PCS website.
Of course, we also welcome your site visit for
information on the PCS program, itself, which differs in certain respects
from the De Leonist program, but remains the same, or is similar, in
other respects.
Everyone interested in the De Leonist program, or
variants, thereof, are urged to attend the conference, as there are few
De Leonist-oriented events and panels in the all-important East Coast
area. This is a good opportunity for the De Leonist diaspora to assemble,
convene, learn, promote unity, and thus advance the movement, especially
our sector.
Below are the two promotional advertisements to
appear in the conference printed program.
Thanks!
Cordially,
vince de benedeto

"Doesn't
the principle of From Each, To Each
require the love ethic. given the explicit
disparity between work and remuneration
implied?"
dave searles replies:
Love ethic? Not simply cooperative effort?
"Will a change in ownership, and production
for
use, alone, give us the idyllic socialist society
we seek?"
dave searles replies:
I have no idea what you seek. I for one do not seek
an idyllic anything.
"Or does the revolution also require formal
and
explicit changes in the ethics and psychology
of human relationships and interaction?"
dave searles replies:
ethics
a. A set of principles of right conduct.
b. A theory or a system of moral values
I look at myself and the people that I know; I look
at people who I have interacted with over the last half century. I answer
that question with a no. There is nothing wrong with their or our present
ethics or psychology - moreover ANY changes that do occur do not seem
that they will be brought about in any formal fashion.
In the US, the most or one of the most highly
developed capitalist countries on Earth the people of all classes are
outstandingly generous at charitable giving. I think that this is more
than a bit presumptuous.
And what happened to Vince's previous posts? I went
through the discussion on "THE LOVE ETHIC: HUMANISM VERSUS
EGOISM" and they all have been purged. Why was that?

Greetings,
I have placed my response to Dave Searles' untitled
posting and questions of Mon Oct 16, 2006, 11:18 am, regarding the PCS
program, in a new DeLeonism.org forum area entitled "PEOPLE FOR A
COOPERATIVE SOCIETY - Program & Principles."
Dave, please see that new topic area for my
response to your questions and remarks. It is now the appropriate place
for PCS-related discussion.
Thanks.
Cordially,
vince de benedeto

We're
going to need a better plan to make mass media announcements. This little
web site isn't enough. I just took some info from the above and posted it
to newsgroups misc.activism.progressive and alt.activism, with a link to
the first post above. Copy of post here.
