It souds much better to me<br>
to be honest also to break with the mental-manual labour division<br>
which I see as the beginning of the wrong path we took as human<br>
civilisation, or forced to take. I do not the expertise at the moment<br>
to argue this with references to etnnogrpahic and antropologic<br>
sources, but it is kind of obvious that in case we do not manage this,<br>
we wil be reproducing today's and future's class divisions and<br>
struggles. I think and belive the method of self- and mutual-learning<br>
by exchange and by adding on top of what we each already know, and<br>
having a shared commons produced by those recognise each others as<br>
peers -class division reproduction free- like we do it on the e-lists<br>
and social networks. So can I please add this proposal to the draft<br>
list of offered courses,with your name as tutor?<br>
<br>
Meanwhile I just gave a concrete form to the overall project and<br>
submitted the below proposal to Coopfunding.net, a cooperative funding<br>
project developed by Catalan Integral Coperative. As you will see your<br>
course fits perfectly to the objective:<br>
<br>
<br>
"GNUnion aims at<br>
<br>
1. Creating one big mesh network for the working people from the<br>
Global South and Global North by linking autonomous networks and<br>
communities of high-tech/knowledge, industrial and service workers;<br>
domestic, immigrant, rural, jobless and future workers; solidarity,<br>
activism and research networks; labour, environmental, social justice<br>
and information freedom activists,<br>
<br>
2. Hyper-, and self-empowerment of the individual nodes and networks involved,<br>
<br>
3. Emancipation of human labour, creativity and potential from<br>
current dominant system, based on waged slavery, by mesh networking<br>
existing and working alternatives and building new ones,<br>
<br>
4. Combining labour, digital, creative and media activism to confront<br>
system with transnationally meshed, systemic and strategic mass<br>
actions,<br>
<br>
The network of the projects we design and develop focuses on<br>
self-organizing and connecting like-minded peers and their network<br>
bases to each other strategically and synergetically. To this end we<br>
build dynamic, free, libre, and open access spaces and tools through<br>
which our collective agendas, struggles, and energies can entangle<br>
with each other, and we can act upon them harmonically. Variety of<br>
projects listed below invites like minded peers to use the individual<br>
social and communicational power they have and collaborate around<br>
dynamic, creative and positive projects empowering them. By combining<br>
peer to peer social dynamics and technologies, and embedding them into<br>
our internal and external processes and relations we ultimately target<br>
global emancipation of labour and the commons from the capital, by<br>
empowering all the single nodes joining in collaborating creation of a<br>
commons humanity.<br>
