Hope they understand it and value it.
Quote:250 word summary. I present for you a fictional story of a postcard collection in a future museum that tells historically the technology and economic and social exchange innovations that will lead to the emergence of something similar to a communist/socialist state. I'm calling my fictional story an art, technology and culture project for the time being and looking to get it into the hands of people who can use the information and concepts for good. The project idea came to me as a natural outcome of my pro-bono project to make a postcard series for a Socialist organization and I wanted to make it very persuasive, profitable and also an example of socialist behavior in practice. They say you can't just read about communism, you need to practice it to understand it, so I practiced what I understand about socialism in a series of voluntary time exchange postcards where I explore the communist methods and needs in a time value exchange system. Here's the long google doc (completely public like communist would do it). https://docs.google.com/document/d/12N92wl74vQathQT1hJmNkJsl_DsKrdU7XrO_O66ZH8o/edit# I'm a user experience designer who's worked and studied communication and exchange my whole life. I'm poor and disheartened by the inefficiencies in capitalist economy and this long postcard series was an opportunity to put my skills and knowledge to good while sharing all my great ideas that didn't fly in on the job in my career because they didn't make the right people money. I have a pile full of brilliant user experience insight that will make the world better but got rejected because the ideas didn't make the higher ups profit. I'm unemployed and manic depressive lately and this postcard series was the result of a muses inspired manic burst of creation that I wrote over a one month period while getting very little sleep and feeling very motivated and energetic. Seems like a work of genius to me, but you should decide for yourself and let me know what you think in the google document. (google docs allow unlimited revision history and work well for communism. Go ahead and freely access our document. It's public and public access like communist would make it. I don't own the google doc, it's public shared property. p.s, I saw your call for papers at the World socialist website and the Socialist Party Of Great Britain discussion forums at . .November 7, 2016 at 9:46 am #122297DJPParticipantI think we've been talking to a spam bot.

It seems to depend upon whether or not you speak with a "strong regional accent"
