I think that working on open infrastructures can be done with people from multiple political backgrounds however, political alliances are another matter; that'a a much more dangerous affair, and depends on putting in 'brackets' issues of disagreements, but not impossible, think of the Egyptian mobilisations ... as for control of money, yes, private banks create the money, but the state still has a huge influence through central banks ... the private-state system is a very imbricated affair, Michel On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 7:54 PM, Dante-Gabryell Monson < [email protected]> wrote:
Has any one of you experience in dialog between syndicalist and libertarian lobbies ?
I noticed, in the documentary "Marx Reloaded<http://www.google.be/url?sa=t&source=video&cd=6&ved=0CEUQtwIwBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmhHeTChVWeg&ei=8kqkTf2vKNDsOZWPhcYJ&usg=AFQjCNGHc74osi7xoJippsvHwC1jZtauWA&sig2=CUQWVMzf7pjSZ6jL_ViOUQ>" @ 5 min 29, that Eamonn Butler <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Butler>, one of the founders of the "Adam Smith Institute<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith_Institute>" think thank, based in London<http://www.adamsmith.org/contact/contacts/adam-smith-institute/> , to my understanding, seems to say that "Government" has control on money, while not noticing him mention that, as I understand it, it is the Central ( private ) Bank that has control on the monetary monopoly.
Their argument ( to be verified - I believe it may need rectification, depending on what is meant by "control" ) seems to be directing in reducing government regulatory frameworks.
In a series of videos advertised on their facebook profile, there is mention of Hayek, and competing currencies.
Is there a way of reconciling certain aspects of syndicalist lobby approaches with conservative libertarian lobbies ?
