CONFEDERATION. We are welcoming ideas on how to Build a Movement to get more people to understand and to work for Confederation as a way of developing the debates about Devolution, Subsidiarity etc. We are increasingly aware that systemic change is likely to come only from the ground up. Thus the discussions about a Movement as contrasted to a Party. We also recommend a fascinating TED talk by Heather Barnet on the extraordinary life of a slimemold, giving even more impetus to our attempts to stir a movement without formal organisation but just the hidden energy of cellular growth and human mutuality.

NB…available on request: A PPT. of SLIDE-SIZED discussion starter on :
SOCIAL POLITICAL ECONOMY FOR HUMANITY’S PLANETARY TRUSTEESHIP
– where
– POLITICAL = methods of governance; inseparable from …..
– ECONOMY = money, business, finance for trading in all of society’s regional and global housekeeping, sharing risk and reward transparently…;
– HUMANITY’S = all of us in our interdependence (voters, activists, general public, human);
– PLANETARY = all related – biospheric /ecological /environmental concerns; the very ‘ground of our being’
– TRUSTEESHIP / VISION = recognition of the covenant between all things ‘under the rainbow’, as the ‘internet of all things’ and ‘zero marginal costing’ allow us to see ourselves at last as empathic, collaborating Homo. sapiens; bearing huge responsibility because of our consciousness and reflective ability to transform neo-liberalism into stakeholder (cooperative) uses of capital. etc..

Please add your comments on the issues and actions we appraise each week.
Discussion is determined by those present. We are concentrating at this time on systemic change and the enabling contribution we are making in a bold bid to ‘a noble mission to make the earth ‘a common treasury for us all’. NOTE various contributions from associates below.
The 2015 Constitutionalists Charter is an incremental, imperfect process of evolving a People’s Political Economy of Inter-Generational Trusteeship for the Earth in a context of Ecology and Evolution. It must dominate our thought and action in the next two months. Please take time to follow this practical initiative, participating in what ever ways you can. Our achievement won’t be dramatic by, May but we are gathering a large number of people and learning many lessons as we proceed. You will receive by a separate email the rich range of material we are putting together around the 2015 Constitutionalists Charter.
Peter Joseph, director of the Zeitgeist movies, gives a short explanation of the market economy, and compares it with a vision he calls an Earth
economy. http://www.realecontv.com/
Thoughts encouraging collaboration……. “When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually.”— R. B. Fuller “You are not as drop in the ocean, but you are the entire ocean in a drop”.
