    If you're at all serious about this, the first thing you need to do is find a new name.

    "Movement for a Democratic Mixed Economy" is, I'm sorry to say, a terrible name. It's too long, it's too convoluted and doesn't project any sort of clear positive message.

    Ian: Personally I look upon the name of the group as a positive - combining the principle of economic democracy with a concept which still has widespread popular appeal. I think this is important in laying down common grounds for exchange between traditional social democrats - and radical positions on Participatory Economics (PARECON), and other perspectives. In laying down the grounds for exchange - the hope is to also create the preconditions for practical co-operation in the future also.

    sincerely,

    Tristan

    I think that there is a great need for the left to re-engage with the issues facing working class people. The internet provides a great opportunity for people with similar beliefs to engage in policy discussion, forge online communities and closer linkages.
