1. At a public talk someone asks you, "okay, I understand what
ເຈົ້າປະຕິເສດ, ແຕ່ຂ້ອຍສົງໄສວ່າເຈົ້າແມ່ນຫຍັງ? ສະຖາບັນໃດ
ເຈົ້າມັກທີ່ຈະດີກ່ວາສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຮົາມີສໍາລັບເສດຖະກິດ,
ການເມືອງ, ເພດ, ເຊື້ອຊາດ, ນິເວດວິທະຍາ, ຫຼືເຈົ້າມີວິໄສທັດອັນໃດ?
I am a big supporter of the parsoc/parecon model which means a society based on values such as equity, solidarity, diversity and self-management. In the economic sphere, where I have my background and main interest, this means creating new institutions to replace our existing capitalist institutions. The basic new institutions would be a network of workers and consumers councils, balanced job complexes, remuneration based on effort and sacrifice and a participatory planning procedure. These institutions would replace the present capitalist institutions such as corporate division of labor, remuneration of bargaining power and property and market allocation.
2. Next, someone at the same event asks, "Why do you do what
ເຈົ້າເຮັດ? ນັ້ນແມ່ນ, ເຈົ້າເວົ້າກັບພວກເຮົາ, ແລະຂ້ອຍຮູ້ຈັກເຈົ້າ
ຂຽນ, ແລະບາງທີເຈົ້າຈັດລະບຽບ, ແຕ່ເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າເຮັດມັນ? ເຮັດຫຍັງ
ທ່ານຄິດວ່າມັນສໍາເລັດ? ເປົ້າຫມາຍຂອງທ່ານສໍາລັບການມາຂອງທ່ານແມ່ນຫຍັງ
ປີ, ຫຼືສໍາລັບສິບປີຂ້າງຫນ້າຂອງເຈົ້າ?
The capitalist society that we live in today is a horrible place when one considers the injustice and sufferings that it produces. If one believes that life doesn’t have to be like this and that there is an alternative that would make life more fulfilling and meaningful for all, one really has no alternative but to work towards that alternative. Working for an alternative society means trying to convince people that there actually is a viable alternative and to encourage people to engage in actions that will bring us closer to that alternative. The immediate goal has to do with raising the level of awareness of the alternative and to get the word out.
3. You are at home and you get an email that says a new
ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງພະຍາຍາມເພື່ອສ້າງຕັ້ງ, ສາກົນ, ສະຫະພັນ
ບົດແຫ່ງຊາດ, ແລະອື່ນໆ, ມັນຂໍໃຫ້ທ່ານເຂົ້າຮ່ວມຄວາມພະຍາຍາມ. ສາມາດ
ທ່ານຈິນຕະນາການເງື່ອນໄຂທີ່ເປັນໄປໄດ້ພາຍໃຕ້ການທີ່ທ່ານຈະເວົ້າວ່າ,
"ແມ່ນແລ້ວ, ຂ້ອຍຈະໃຫ້ພະລັງງານຂອງຂ້ອຍເພື່ອເຮັດໃຫ້ມັນເກີດຂຶ້ນພ້ອມກັບ
ພວກເຈົ້າທີ່ເຫຼືອທີ່ກ່ຽວຂ້ອງແລ້ວ?” ຖ້າເປັນແນວນັ້ນ, ສິ່ງທີ່
ເງື່ອນໄຂເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ? ຫຼື – ເຈົ້າຄິດບໍ່ວ່າແນວນັ້ນແທນ
ຂອງເນື້ອໃນຂອງກອງປະຊຸມແລະເຮັດໃຫ້ເຖິງຂອງ
ຜູ້ເຂົ້າຮ່ວມ, ຄວາມຄິດບໍ່ສາມາດມີຄ່າຄວນ, ໃນປັດຈຸບັນ, ຫຼືບາງທີອາດມີ.
ຖ້າເປັນດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ເປັນຫຍັງ?
I am definitely willing to engage in an organization that works for an alternative society along the lines outlined in my answers above so long as that organization itself practices what it preaches.
4. Do you think efforts to organize movements, projects, and
ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງຂອງພວກເຮົາເອງຄວນປະກອບແກ່ນຂອງອະນາຄົດ
ໃນປັດຈຸບັນ? ຖ້າບໍ່ແມ່ນ, ເປັນຫຍັງບໍ່? ຖ້າແມ່ນ, ເຈົ້າສາມາດເວົ້າຫຍັງໄດ້, ຫຼາຍ
ປະມານ, ທ່ານຄິດວ່າບາງຜົນສະທ້ອນອາດຈະເປັນສໍາລັບ
ອົງການຈັດຕັ້ງທີ່ເຈົ້າຈະມັກ?
Yes, that is essential for credibility. The value of this cannot be overestimated. The implications would include creating decision making rules, job divisions and remuneration rules that corresponds with our values.
5. ເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າຈຶ່ງຕອບການສໍາພາດນີ້? ເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າຄິດວ່າຄົນອື່ນ
ບໍ່ຕອບມັນ?
The resoc project is an important initiative that hopefully will lead forward in the work toward an alternative future. Answering this interview is part of this. If people don´t answer this interview I guess they don´t agree.
