Hi everyone,

Of possible interest in a related note, I wrote this in 1995:

The Self-Organizing Moneyless Economy

The first scientific speculation on how a communist economy and
political system will function in the 21st century. Featuring
brief sketches of the organization of political, cultural and
economic life in a future where all authority flows from
principles that have been distributed universally and are part of
everyone's internal compass rather than institutions which are
external to the individual and which use one or another form of
carrot or stick.

A future communist economy, based on the principle of "from each
according to his ability, to each according to his need", will
not be based on money, capital, commodities or wages--nor will it
require all-powerful central planners.  Rather it will consist of
myriad self-organizing assemblies of economic units in
competition with one another to most efficiently transform
skilled labor and other resources into forms of social wealth
serving the material and cultural needs of the masses.

Sincerely and with revolutionary regards,
Ben Seattle

That would be me (the author of said site and piece). Pass us
David's
address and I'll reply as best I can. I lost control of my
scrapbook when
Yahoo (scum!) carried out the enclosure of Geocities, thus
locking me out. I
even tried emailing them a few times to get them to take the site
down -
needless to say they just ignored me.

Most frustratingly of all I now (due to various box breakages and
lack of
proper offline backup *sigh*) no longer have a copy of any of the
texts I
had up there. Which is frankly a real gutter as I hadn't finished
with
them - especially the production of use values. Seems I'm doomed
to lose
every piece of promising writing I start (I lost a crucial piece
on
Fordism/Sloanism/Consumerism years ago through yet another
burglary - ho
hum). And then people wonder why I hardly ever summons the energy
to write
anymore...

Anyway - if anybody has a copy of any of the texts (not in Google
cache
which is usually pretty terminal...) I would be most grateful...

cheers,

Paul Bowman
