"Since the objective is to build a popular voice for the community, territorial assemblies are not limited to just one issue or demand. Rather, they adapt to the needs and priorities of their base and are capable of responding to the smallest of local issues as well as carrying out national campaigns related to housing, urban development and quality of life issues."

The popular assemblies at the heart of the Chilean uprising
Chile has a long history of radical neighborhood organizing — a tradition that is now put at the service of drafting a new constitution for a country in turmoil.
"A short introduction to the structural problems of Soviet planning, written by economist Catherine Samary in 1988. In this extract from one of her books, Samary sums up four of them: (a) the tendency for a long-term decline of growth rates, (b) not being able to break with the methods of “extensive” growth, (c) shortages and bottlenecks in production and (d) a combination of shortage of labor power (meaning no unemployment) and “over-employment”."

"If a country is an imperialist power with a strong financial system, then it can derive surplus value from other parts of the world, enabling its financial sector to grow dramatically and nevertheless remain a profitable area of business!"

The World The Economist Made
Warnings of a crisis of liberalism have become commonplace, as it is assailed by an illiberal right on the one side and a socialist left on the other. The situation is plain, and it is at least partially self-inflicted. Liberalism has missed opportunity after…
"The principal effect of TV news is to create engagement through distress. News shows cannot connect viewers to meaningful actions they might take in their own lives to relieve this distress because these actions would mean ceasing to watch TV. And this is the goal to which all others will be sacrificed: to keep you watching."

Pantopia Reading Nook 📰🚩
We decided to decrease the number of media sent in a day from 5-6 to 3-4, because we felt that they were too many and there was the risk for you readers to accumulate the articles to read over time. Are you ok with this choice?
A week ago we created a poll to ask you guys if we had to decrease the number of media sent in a day. The problem is that we created the poll specifically for the members of the channel, but instead it got spread around and received more views and votes than (at the time) there were subscribers of the channel. For this reason, we're considering the result of the poll invalid and from now on we're going to make them in the group Pantopia (@pantopia), at least for a while. We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but in this way it will be easier to mantain a democratic process in making this kind of decisions. Have a wonderful day you beautiful leftists ❤️
