Growing for Broke looks like a helpful book for informing policy around this issue. Is it mostly anchored in Australia?
I'm in #Canada and wondering how relevant the book would be?
What do you mean by "Getting #NEOeD"?

Hi Shans,
If you live in #Australia, Growing For Broke (2015?) by the late Peter North is a must-read.
We speak in the language of #ConvivialSufficiency. The way we can achieve this is by "Getting #NEOeD", which may involve punching upwards at those perpetrating the #statusQuo.
This 3 to 7.5% rule has been widely documented as the #criticalMass generally needed. Once a movement reaches and is buoyed by 7.5 percent, it's a win.
The path to 7.5% is still tough though.
It will be a path of #directAction and getting #NEOeD but more acheivable than 100%, right?!

They tell us via #legacyMedia and now #socialMedia, to blame the #BigBadGovt, but this narrative feeds into the above.
Fascism is the melding of govt and #bigBusiness. Today's system is #fascism, not #capitalism.
Some have called it #CorporateTotalitarianism, or #CorporateState.
To fight it requires getting #NEOed. #Networking #Educating #Organising Engaging with Power, #Disobeying.

Is it time to adopt a #newInternet?
#Tor and #i2p can help us cut through the #corporateState #narratives. Even if we don't use Tor. Using services like #Searx for #webSearching and #invidious for #videoAccess we can help to break the existing power structure.
How we use #technology affects us.
#Protesting is not enough. We also need to #network, #educate, #organise #engage with powerholders and #disobey where needed. We need to get #NEOED.
Smarter use of tech can get us there faster.

The quote "his family had ties to the #slaveTrade" sounds like a tenuous link, tbh.
The question should be did he actually benefit from those ties? Many have #family ties to all sorts of unsavoury stuff, and that honestly means nothing to us; definately not a sign of endorsement or of benefit. In fact, in many ways it is a hindrance.
Where can we learn more about this one?
@schestowitz
Not lately, but the #corporateState are #EqualOpportunityExploiters
Please listen to this lecture (which happens to be highly entertaining, also) by Prof. #MichaelParenti about the 2000 war on #Yugoslavia:

The Equal Opportunity Exploiter method explains why so may white people are #protesting alongside #BLM.
The #billionaireClass have been inflicting a massive #inflationTax, and #theft on us.
We need to get #NEOed
@schestowitz
You would think the #stockMarkets of the world would be plummeting amid the #protests but no, they are shooting up.
Why?
Could it be that the #BillGates', #JeffBezos' and #Google's of the world are protected by a network of corrupt central bankers?

The US #corporations have only been sucking the lifeblood out of local businesses around the world for 45 years...
That's all fine, though.

Is there a better #tax?
Yes, the wealthy use phony profit-loss statements go avoid tax - but you can't hide land.
It's called #LandTax on improved value (aka #RentalValue). It basically makes #profitAndLoss-based #taxAvoidance impossible.
Land Tax on Rental value can be applied to #land no matter who owns it. The extremely wealthy use every trick they know to avoid a more effective #taxation system.
Now's our chance to get it done.
@schestowitz
If you ask people whether money-printing should be permitted for the #corporations, they are basically unanimously opposed - but our leaders don't actually believe in #democracy or listen to #WeThePeople.
They answer to their #politicalDonors, #advertisers and #lobbyists (5 per elected representative).
Get #NEOed
Network. Educate. Organise. We don't have much time left.
When was the last time you sat at a #roundtable with your peers to discuss matters of upmost importance to you and the wider community?
Do you know who is?
Get #NEOED
Network,
Educate,
Organise,
Engage with leaders, and
(if needed, and it is) Disobey.

As the world opens up slowly, maybe with a myopic enthusiasm, we need to spare a thought for the wrongfully imprisoned.
Because the world is about to get that much more dangerous for these many people, including #JulianAssange, who remains at grave risk in #UK's #BelmarshPrison.
A man who helped to expose #warCriminals and #bankers that subvert our #democratic processes and #institutions, is locked in a petri-dish to be fed to a horrific virus.

Can someone make a meme from the oracle scene of #theMatrix with the girl and the spoon. The first image with the spoon has no caption. Then an image of #Neo watching. The last image with the bent spoon having the caption, "There was no normal".
