Mutualist Blog: Free Market Anti-Capitalism
To dissolve, submerge, and cause to disappear the political or governmental system in the economic system by reducing, simplifying, decentralizing and suppressing, one after another, all the wheels of this great machine, which is called the Government or the State. --Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution

Is there any way to get an RSS feed from C4SS just for your writing?
I don't think so.
Kevin -- glad to read that essay. I've been saying for a few years that the solution to our present problem is to create a parallel governmental analog, and a parallel economy, which will force the existing power structure to follow the path taken by the parallel system. The parallel system should reflect what people want, not what financiers, corporate shareholders, or large business entities would like.
Part of my thinking on this includes the obvious points of not voting and not participating in the present economy -- to go "under the table" or outside formal economic strictures.
It would be good to see a lot of Americans refusing to pay income taxes. The IRS and DOJ can prosecute only so many people.
