---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Dietz <joel(a)swarmcorp.com> Date: Sat, Jul 11, 2015 at 11:09 PM Subject: Current research To: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> MB, Just pinging some friends to outline my current research topics and see if anyone is doing research on complementary topics: 1) Metrics for ecosystem health that can be applied in cryptoeconomics, esp. cryptoasset markets 2) Probabilistic programming applied in the context of user agent modeling and applying swarm intelligence for predictive possibilities 3) Appropriate reputational system embedded in an incentivized decentralized prediction market 4) Re-creating Loren Carpenter's famous PONG experiment ( https://vimeo.com/78043173) in some context with Blockchain, ideally illustrating some collaborative / swarm dynamics 5) How to embed optimal "teal organization" (Laloux) in a DAO and what would be the initial seeding or use case 6) Collaborative nomic games, ideally in some way connected to markets that can illustrate new organizational principles 7) Blockchain design patterns, illustrating best practice and principles for smart contracts 8) "How to chose your blockchain?" Flow for choosing the appropriate blockchain design for your project. 9) General principles around identity and reputational systems, including design principles, history, success stories, and optimal market entry 10) "Social contract" based IP licensing, for a defensible commons always welcome collaboration.

To be effective in confronting this new reality, workers also need to organise and take actions that are integrated and co-ordinated at an international level. In conjunction with regional labour activists and organisations, AAWL has developed a global organising concept called *‘The Global Picketline’ <http://emagcreator.com/aawl/AWO_gpl_2015_Final> [2]*. This concept is outlined in a short publication <http://emagcreator.com/aawl/AWO_gpl_2015_Final> [2] that details what type of international solidarity is strongest and the steps needed to organise global campaigns.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> Date: Sat, Jul 11, 2015 at 11:12 AM Subject: Re: [tapas] Varoufakis @ Guardian To: "tapas(a)lists.p2pfoundation.net" <tapas(a)lists.p2pfoundation.net> 2 things are revealing in this testament, one, the realistic assessment that it was never about repayment, but about disciplining but second , and this is worse, Varoufakis mentions iraq, of all places, as an example of a return to monetary sovereignty .. and not argentina, iceland or the dozen positive historical examples mentioned by ellen brown in her book, nor the current statistics showing european countries outside the eurozone do generally better than those within it .. for me what this reveals is a left version of TINA, and explains why Tsipras wants to give in so badly to the Troika blackmail, they do not see a alternative themselves and that is a terrible realisation ... The proposed accord is an absolutely terrible program for permanent enfeeblement of Greece, and as George P. suggested, for the planned destruction of the SME economy .. It brings home the possibility described in Kees van der Pijl's new book: The end of political compromise under capitalism ..

Fwd: La liste de mesures en français
by Michel Bauwens 10 Jul '15

absolute catastrophic proposed rendition by Tsipras ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: 'Yiorgos Vassalos' via Platforme Solidarite Grece-Belgique < solidaritegrece-belgium(a)googlegroups.com> Date: 2015-07-10 19:02 GMT+07:00 Subject: La liste de mesures en français To: "solidaritegrece-belgium(a)googlegroups.com" < solidaritegrece-belgium(a)googlegroups.com> Embellir le programme d'austérité proposé par Tsipras, c'est annuler la raison d'être de la gauche radicale et passer aux rangs du "social-libéralisme". Voici le contenu du programme que malheureusement une partie importante de la presse de la gauche radicale européenne déforme pour le faire accepter: 1. On parle des économies de 13 milliards c'est à dire 5 milliards supplémentaires de la proposition des créanciers rejeté par 62% des citoyens dans un référendum la semaine passée. TVA 2. Αugmentation du TVA au 23% (de 13%) pour la plupart de produits alimentaires et d'autres produits de base, ainsi que pour les restaurants 3. Le TVA réduit par 30% pour les iles, ligne rouge du gouvernement avant le référendum, sera supprimé d'ici à la fin de 2016 ce qui augmentera le coût de vie là-bas. Retraites 4. Réduction des dépenses de 0,25 % à 0,5 % du PIB en 2015 et de 1 % du PIB en 2016. 5. L'âge de départ à la retraite sera de 67 ans en 2022. 6. Le gouvernement demande que la suppression du complément de retraite pour les plus fragiles, l'EKAS soit reportée à fin 2019 au lieu de fin 2018. Mais sa suppression commencera immédiatement par les 20 % qui touchent le plus. 7. Les cotisations santé des retraités seront portées de 4 % à 6 %. 8. La retraite complémentaire sera gelée jusqu'en 2021. 9. Les retraites complémentaires seront financées exclusivement par des cotisations spéciales qui veulent dire pratiquement leur diminution. Tout ça veut dire bel et bien de réductions importantes au revenu des retraités. Taxation 9. Ce ne sont pas que les entreprises qui devront payer d'avance 100% de leur impôt mais aussi les indépendants y compris les salariés occupés comme de faux indépendants. 10. La taxation réduite du pétrole pour les agriculteurs est supprimé. Ceci va augmenter les prix de produits agricoles après avoir détruit beaucoup des producteurs. 11. La taxe foncière horizontale ENFIA qui a fait tomber le gouvernement Samaras est maintenu. 12. La taxe sur les transactions transfrontalières - la seule taxe contre l'évasion fiscale adoptée par le gouvernement - est supprimée. 13. La taxe de revenus par des appartements à louer est augmentée. 14. On adopte les taux d’imposition des sociétés proposé par l’UE, 28%, au lieu du 29% proposé par le gouvernement 15. On laisse tomber la proposition pour une taxe spéciale de 12% pour une année aux sociétés les plus rentables. Secteur public 16. Nouvelle échelle salariale avec des réductions en moyenne pondérée 17. Managers dans l’évaluation 18. Mobilité permanente pour les fonctionnaires Marché du travail 19. L’arbitrage n’est pas restauré mais on créer un nouveau système basé sur « le moyen de l’UE » 20. Libéralisation d’encore plus de professions Privatisations 21. Sauf les chemins de fer, tous les ports , les aéroports périphériques et l’espace énorme de l’ancien aéroport sur le front maritime d’Athènes, ils donnent au TAIPED aussi des actions de la société de télécommunications et ils privatisent le gestionnaire du réseaux électriques, encore une ligne rouge du gouvernement avant le référendum. Les dépenses militaires sont réduites de 100 millions d'euros en 2015 et de 200 millions d'euros en 2016. Il y aura des évaluations de la Troïka avant le déboursement de chaque tranche. Des nouvelles mesures seront donc demandées au fur à mesure comme c’était le cas les cinq dernières années. Ce sont de mesures clairement récessionistes. Les 35 milliards du « plan de croissance » c’est de la rigolade car il s’agit de l’addition de recettes des fonds de cohésion et des fonds agricoles que la Grèce toucherait de toute façon. Cette proposition du gouvernement est un programme qui ajouterait encore plus de pauvreté à un peuple déjà exsangue par 5 années d’austérité. C’est une insulte que le gouvernement Tsipras fait au peuple qui s’est exprimé souverainement dans le référendum et il a clairement rejetée la proposition de créanciers qui a été moins pire que ce programme là. Aucun député de la majorité ne doit voter ça. C’est ce qu’ils vont revendiquer de dizaines de milliers de manifestants à Syntagma et dans tout le pays ce soir. Les grec indépendants et l'aile gauche de syriza n'ont pas signer cette proposition ce matin. 2015-07-09 23:11 GMT+02:00 'Yiorgos Vassalos' via Platforme Solidarite Grece-Belgique <solidaritegrece-belgium(a)googlegroups.com>: Tsirpas demade au Parlement grec d'adopter demain un programme d'austérité de 13 miliards pire que celui rejeté par 61% des citoyens dans le référendum de dimanche dernier. la liste non officielle de mesure seulement en grec pour le moment Στο ΦΠΑ: 6% για φάρμακα, βιβλία και θέατρα, 13% για ξενοδοχεία, ενέργεια, βασικά είδη διατροφής και 23% για την εστίαση και όλα τα υπόλοιπα τρόφιμα.

A core component of the law, passed by the standing committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), is to make all key network infrastructure and information systems "secure and controllable". President Xi Jinping has said China's security covers areas including politics, culture, the military, the economy, technology and the environment. But foreign business groups and diplomats have argued that the law is vague and fear it could require that technology firms make products in China or use source code released to inspectors, forcing them to expose intellectual property. Zheng Shuna, vice chairwoman of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC standing committee, downplayed those concerns, saying China welcomes "all countries' businesses to operate in China and provide legitimate services according to law". "We will continue to follow the path of peaceful development but we absolutely will not give up our legitimate rights and absolutely will not sacrifice the country's core interests," she said at a briefing. The security of territorial seas and airspace is among those core interests, which, according to the legislation, China will take "all necessary measures" to safeguard. The law, which comes amid tensions with neighbors over disputes in the South China and East China Seas, passed through the NPC standing committee, the top body of China's rubber stamp parliament, by a vote of 154 to zero, with one abstention. 'GROWING INFLUENCE OF HARDLINERS' The national security law is part of a raft of government legislation - including laws on anti-terrorism, cyber security and foreign non-government organizations - that have drawn criticism from foreign governments, business and civil society groups. Those policies, many of which have cyber security components, have emerged after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden disclosed that U.S. spy agencies planted code in American tech exports to snoop on overseas targets. "The fact that these different pieces of legislation are all moving forward in tandem indicates the seriousness of Beijing's commitment as well as the growing influence of hardliners shaping China's technology policy agenda," Samm Sacks, an analyst at U.S.-based consulting firm Eurasia Group, said in an emailed statement. Critics have argued that the extensive nature of the law, which covers everything from China's deep sea and space assets to "harmful cultural influences", constitutes national security overreach. Its passage also coincides with a crackdown on dissent, as the government has detained and jailed activists and blamed "foreign forces" for the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong last year. Hong Kong and Macau must "fulfill responsibilities to safeguard national security" according to the law, which also covers crimes of subversion and inciting rebellion. That reference could spark more fears of Beijing encroaching on Hong Kong's rule of law. Britain returned Hong Kong to China in 1997 under a "one country, two systems" formula, with the promise of a high degree of autonomy. Unlike on the mainland, Hong Kong does not have laws criminalizing subversion of the state. Macau, a former Portuguese colony, returned to China in 1999. Some seven months after Hong Kong police forcibly cleared pro-democracy protesters from the streets, tens of thousands of people were expected to rally for free elections on Wednesday as the city marks the 18th anniversary of its return to China.

To soothe local worries, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Justice, Rimsky Yuen, described the new law as little more than a “declaration of principles” that is “a blueprint for overall national security.” Similarly, one of his predecessors, Elsie Leung, called it “framework legislation.” Indeed, the law is striking for its lack of specificity. But it is chilling in its sweep, potentially including every sphere of activity, foreign as well as domestic, within the realm of national security. It provides for a national security review mechanism that would cover all activities “that impact or might impact national security,” from foreign investment to Internet information technology. The law identifies the interests of the Communist Party with those of the Chinese state. The first article asserts that the law is “to defend the people’s democratic dictatorship and the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics” before saying that it is also meant “to protect the fundamental interests of the people.” “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” is the official ideology of the Communist Party. Thus, defending the party’s monopoly on power is defined as maintaining national security. That is to say, anyone supporting democracy is ipso facto guilty of undermining national security. Since 2009, China’s diplomats have informed the world that the country’s core interests were headed by “upholding our basic system,” that is, maintaining the existence of the party-state. This was followed by sovereignty and territorial integrity and, lastly, economic and social development. The new security law is consistent with this formulation. But such an approach can easily provide a pretext for a crackdown on domestic dissent as well as on “foreign interference.” The new law warns “individuals and organizations” not to endanger national security or to provide any support or assistance to individuals or organizations endangering national security. By defining national security in broad and vague terms, the law is likely to cause unease to citizens and put psychological pressure on them to ask themselves if they should engage in social, cultural or other activities that may be even remotely interpreted as being illegal. One example is religion. While paying lip service to upholding the principle of freedom of religion, the law threatens punishment of those who “conduct illegal and criminal activities” in the name of religion. The law also seems to endow itself with extraterritorial jurisdiction. It defines China’s national interests as including the “peaceful exploration and use of outer space” as well as of international seabed areas and of both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions; hence, protecting such interests are now part of upholding national security. With global warming, interest in the Arctic and the riches of its seabed is increasing. China does not border the Arctic but calls itself a near-Arctic state, with rights and interests in the seabed. The new law declares that China will take “necessary measures in accordance with law” to protect the security and the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese citizens, organizations and institutions and also ensure that the country’s overseas interests “are not threatened or encroached upon.” With China now involved in trade and diplomacy in every corner of the world, Chinese business people and tourists are active in virtually all countries, big or small. Last year, more than 100 million Chinese travelled abroad. ______________________________ Jai Sen jai.sen(a)cacim.net / jai(a)openword.in www.cacim.net / http://www.openword.in Now based in New Delhi, India (+91-98189 11325) and in Ottawa, Canada (+1-613-282 2900) *NEW PUBLICATIONS :* Jai Sen, ed, 2013 – *The Movements of Movements : Struggles for Other Worlds*, Part I*.* Volume 4 Part I in the *Challenging Empires* series.
