SUMMARY:The Great Transition: Reviving post-capitalist solidarities in Montréal
DESCRIPTION:The world is burning. Forest fires\, droughts\, and floods are multiplying across the globe. The Israeli state is massacring the Palestinian population with the complicity of Western powers\, putting the region at risk. Inequalities are on the rise all over the planet. People are being evicted from their homes\, and others are struggling to pay the rent\, while landlords are getting richer. Grocery is becoming ever more expensive\, while large food retailers are making record profits. Migrants drown crossing the Rio Grande and the Mediterranean\, while their brothers and sisters are exploited and underpaid in the fields\, warehouses\, and hospitals of the Global North. \nIt’s becoming increasingly urgent to implement radical left solutions: socialize the means of production; create worker and consumer cooperatives; de-asphalt and revitalize our living environments; develop non-market housing; decentralize power; collectively share care work; demilitarize our societies. These measures are the bare minimum to create the conditions of a decent life for all. There is an undeniable need to dismantle capitalism\, patriarchy\, and colonialism. \nYou can get the full schedule here: https://thegreattransition.net/schedule/

SUMMARY:The De-Socialization of Electricity: Unbundling the Public Utility Model in the United States - with Matt Huber
DESCRIPTION:The event will be in English. \nThe description is taken from the event’s website: \n“One of Marx’s key arguments in Capital is that capital lays the material conditions for socialism through the socialization of production (harnessing the cooperative powers of the collective workers and the social powers of science and technology). But he probably did not foresee the capacity of capital to arrest this process by breaking apart heavily socialized production systems – that is\, de-socialization. Electricity represents socialized production par excellence – a physical grid infrastructure requiring socialized investment and central planning by its very nature. In the early 20th century United States\, electricity was partially socialized through ‘progressive era’ public utility law and policy. Yet\, starting in the 1970s\, this model was demolished in favor of competition and markets – increasingly fragmenting grid governance into a dispersed and overlapping set of byzantine institutions. Where does this leave socialist electricity politics today (particularly in relation to the climate crisis and the centrality of electricity decarbonization)? I suggest the first step must be re-socialization. \nPart of the Socialization in Theory and Practice research project led by Rabea Berfelde and Jacob Blumenfeld\, funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung.”

SUMMARY:INDEP online Talk with Michael Hicks on his Game "Dissent on Mars" and Simulating Postcapitalist Economies
DESCRIPTION:Dissent on Mars is a new simulation game that lets players design dozens of different economies to live in\, including a democratically planned economy. During this event\, developer Michael Hicks will talk about his inspirations for the game\, how democratic planning is simulated\, the challenges he faced during development\, and future plans for the game. A Q&A session will follow the talk. \nThe event will be in English. \nTo participate\, please register here.

SUMMARY:Presentation of Legal Evaluation on the Socialization of the Energy Sector
DESCRIPTION:The event will be held in German\, there will be no online participation. \nThe description is taken from the event’s website: \n“Vorstellung eines juristischen Gutachtens mit Dr. Johannes Franke (Kanzlei Rechtsanwälte Günther Hamburg)\, kommentiert durch Rabea Berfelde und Solveig Degen\, moderiert von Justus Henze (communia) \nVeranstaltung im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekt „Socialization in Theory and Practice. Democratizing Access to Land and Energy“ unter der Leitung von Jacob Blumenfeld und Rabea Berfelde\, gefördert durch die Gerda Henkel Stiftung. \nWährend die Diskussion um die juristische Machbarkeit der Vergesellschaftung von Wohnraum – angestoßen durch die Kampagne Deutsche Wohnen&Co Enteignen– bereits weit vorangeschritten ist\, beginnt die Diskussion um Vergesellschaftungsperspektiven für den Energiesektor erst. \nIn dem Projekt „Demokratische Energiewende statt Klimakatastrophe“ arbeitet der Think Tank communia an Strategien und Konzepten für eine demokratische\, gemeinwohlorientierte und ökologische Energieversorgung. Im Rahmen dieses Projekts hat communia bei der renommierten Kanzlei Rechtsanwälte Günther Hamburg ein umfassendes juristisches Gutachten in Auftrag gegeben. Zentrales Ziel dabei war die Beantwortung der Frage: Ist die Vergesellschaftung von Energieinfrastruktur trotz des europäischen Binnenmarkts und liberalem EU-Recht machbar? \nAm 11. Juni stellen wir die Ergebnisse dieser Studie in Diskussion mit den beteiligten Rechtsanwälten vor. Das Gutachten zeigt\, dass eine Vergesellschaftung von Energiekonzernen juristisch möglich ist und eröffnet somit neue Perspektiven für eine sozialere und klimaneutrale Energieversorgung.”

SUMMARY:INDEP online Talk - the IDA presents their Labor Time Accounting App
DESCRIPTION:When a few council communists in the 1920s imagined how a communist economy could work\, they imagined a moneyless economy using labour time as its unit of exchange\, with a corresponding bookkeeping system. 100 years later\, we can implement this system digitally with databases and the Web. \nThe goal is still the same: a society based on self-management\, overcoming exploitation and oppression. \nMembers of IDA (Initiative Demokratische Arbeitszeitrechnung/Initiative Democratic Labour Time Accounting) will briefly introduce the concept of a labour time economy before presenting their current projects: a Web app (Arbeitszeitapp)\, intended for networks of cooperatives that want to create a shared economy today\, as well as a project to simulate a full-scaled labour time economy for tomorrow. \nThe event will be held in English. \nTo participate in the event\, please register here. \nSource code of the Arbeitszeitapp \nDemo instance of the Arbeitszeitapp (in German\, English and Spanish)
