Have you guys seen this? http://www.iopsociety.org/. Looks to have quite a few members already (including Noam Chomsky). I largely agree with it but they're maintaining a monetary system which lets it down I think. Still, an interesting idea. I notice they're avoiding the word "Socialism"
Its Michael Albert's of Parecon vision of a political party. Plenty of bs with little substance and seeking to impress those who seem to think a nice kind of capitalism is possible. Ugh!
