intro / talk with dmitry kleiner, dr. richard barbrook

society we live in, as societys everywhere and always, are composed of social relationships. relationships of productions, in particular, form the economic capacities required to impose social and political structures.  the relation of productions constitutes the economic structure of society on which arise the legal and political structures which define it. new kinds of relations, if they create new productive relations, can possibly constitute a new political and economic structure which is able to give rise to a new kind of society.

assuming that political change can only follow a change in the mode of production, venture communism is such an attempt to create a mode of production that will expand socialism by reducing the labour available to be exploited by property. a form of revolutionary workers struggle, a mode of production that is designed to shift the balance of power from property to labour, so in the final endgame, the workers are allowed, eventually, to buy back the entire world from capitalists.

talks on 1.of may will cover differing and crucial aspects of these concepts as practics, paralells and results so far,  especially analysing and referring to associations as SLUM-TV is one, as telekommunisten is one and as many others, still to come…
