Ndakha ndabona umqondiso woqhankqalazo owawubuza umbuzo ekusenokwenzeka ukuba wawungekho phambi kwexesha: “UbuKomanisi bufile. Ngaba i-capitalism elandelayo?" Ukuba impendulo ithi “ewe,” luluphi ucwangciso olufanelekileyo lwezoqoqosho olunokuthabatha indawo yalo?

Parecon: Ubomi Emva kobungxowankulu nguMichael Albert ibonelela
impendulo: I-Economics yoThatho-nxaxheba, uqoqosho olubandakanya ukwabelana ngemisebenzi yokuxhobisa kunye nokunciphisa amandla, kunye nolwabiwo ngokusebenzisa uluhlu lwemijikelo yokuthatha inxaxheba. UAlbert, umbhali kunye nomphathi wewebhusayithi yeZ Magazine (www.zmag.org), ifikelela kuvuthondaba lweminyaka elishumi elinambini yokubhala kunye nokucinga malunga ne-parecon kunye neParecon.

UAlbert uqala ukujongana neziseko ezithile, emva koko unika iingcebiso ngokuqhubekayo kwiinkomo ezingcwele zezoqoqosho ekunene (iimarike azihoyi izinto zangaphandle ezibalulekileyo) kwaye ngasekhohlo (ucwangciso oluphakathi lunozwilakhe, i-bioregionalism ayicacanga kakhulu). Emva koko uchaza i-parecon ngokweenkcukacha, ichaza imizekelo yobomi kwi-parecon, emva koko ijongane nezigxeko ezahlukeneyo ezichasene ne-parecon. Kuyo yonke le ncwadi, uAlbert ngokuhlaziya uzityeshela ii-taboos ezahlukeneyo njengoko esenza umbono wengomso elingcono. Lo mbono usekelwe kwimizekelo emininzi yangoku kunye neyedlulileyo, eminye yayo evela kwiwebhusayithi yeparecon (www.parecon.org).

Ukufunda i-Parecon, ndikhunjuzwe ngomdla ka-Milton Friedman we-manifesto ethi Capitalism and Freedom nangona uFriedman no-Albert behlukene ngokwezopolitiko kwaye iParecon kulula kakhulu ukuyifunda. Incwadi kaFriedman yaphembelela amadangatye kwihlabathi jikelele leniyoliberalism (iimarike ezixhaphakileyo). Ngeenguqulelo kwiilwimi ezili-11 esele zikho, i-Parecon inokuphembelela amadangatye okwanda kokuchasana ne-neoliberal kwihlabathi liphela. Ukuba uqoqosho lwehlabathi luyaqhubeka nokuwohloka ngelixa abantu belambele ezinye iindlela ezingcono, iParecon inokunyanzeliswa ukuba ifunde kangangexesha elithile.
