A handy collection of verses.

I thought this video was a good presentation of something that sounds so silly on its face ("anarcho-monarchism"). I'll always have a fondness for Distributism because it was reading GK Chesterton in high school that first got me interested in anti-capitalist thought. I've since realized that the libertarian socialist traditions make Distributism superfluous. But while I'd rather they keep their bourgeois families, kings, and popes to themselves... I'd be happy with three acres and a cow.

Eric Garner’s murder is not only about the justice system. It’s about how capitalism creates racialized categories of “surplus” people.

Some animations narrated with Libcom.org's "An Introduction to Capitalism"

"There are a myriad of ways one can object to the LTV, but the idea that is is nonsensical and incoherent is simply based on misunderstandings. One may well disagree with the premise that labour is the source of value (I do, simply because I have no positive reason to believe it). One may also endorse alternative theories over the LTV. But, based on a clear understanding, there is no a priori reason not to develop a comprehensive understanding of Marx’s theory, and treat it in the same way one would treat any other theory in economics."

"This website is a work in progress. The aim is to create a more-or-less comprehensive index of claims that are made in defense of capitalism and a brief but thorough debunking of each."

It's like a cooperative which prices to cost... only with unpaid employees. Interesting.

Piketty's "Capital" has been getting a lot of attention. It sounds interesting and like he has done the tedious empirical work that I would never do. I'll have to read it... after I finally read Graeber's "Debt".

This is a link to the first of a four-part review. Find the next three parts immediately following it in Wolff's weblog archives.

Michael Hudson defines some terms.

"The harmonious vision of higher wages in general benefiting both capital and labour is a mirage."

"This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing 'wealth gap' in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune."

Worth watching if only for the people he was able to get interviews with. And also if you'd like to lose any respect you might have had for Milton Friedman.

I know the mutualism->collectivism->communism narrative is a simplification, but I think this is a good overview.

By Iain McKay. "This is an introduction to Proudhon’s economic ideas and their influence on revolutionary anarchism. It is a chapter from the new book The Accumulation of Freedom: Writings on Anarchist Economics (AK Press)"

What we need more of is cooperatives.

Haha. Oh, rich people, you so rich.

An easy to read introduction to the theory of firms. Of course firms do not need to be ‘hierarchical organizations that are internally directed by command and control.’ They could be cooperatively owned and operated by the workers.

While I obviously disagree that economic rent is ever a good thing, this is a well presented introduction to rent-seeking. I also liked the same author’s (Dr. Ross) article presenting the classical-liberal view of the state (http://www.friesian.com/freestat.htm). There seem to be many interesting articles on this website.

He describes the movement by five main values: Distributed network architectures, transnationality, economic democracy, hacker ethics, and devolutionism (returning all products back to the commons). Sounds about right.
