Dynamic Articles, Journals, and Information

[Dalioranium]

This is a place for web-based sources that are not just a static display. These are continually changing, evolving with events in current affairs and keeping us up to date about many different issues. They can encompass a host of different subjects, and are often excellent sources of information for not just personal learning, but academic uses.

If you have a site you'd like to see listed, please just PM me the link and a short description of the site, its focus, and purpose. If you are unable to provide a description that is acceptable, but it may be placed in queue and take some time before it is reviewed by a councilor.

National Priorities Project[/u]

www.nationalpriorities.org/

The National Priorities Project (NPP) offers citizen and community groups tools and resources to shape federal budget and policy priorities which promote social and economic justice.

Since 1983, the National Priorities Project (NPP) has been the only group in the country that focuses on the impacts of federal tax and spending policies at the community level. We link political analysis to action by serving as a bridge between policy organizations and grassroots groups. We translate policy information into everyday language and assist national and grassroots groups in their efforts on such issues as improving their schools, creating living wage jobs and providing affordable housing.

For a number of years, NPP has focused on the trade-offs between military spending and tax breaks with social spending. This has enabled us to build bridges between the peace community and the many groups fighting for social and economic justice, expanding the number of groups who will work on both community needs and peace.

NPP collaborates with national organizations and local citizen groups, including 110 Local Partners in 44 states.

Politicswiki

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics

Politics is the process and conduct of decision-making for groups. Although it is usually applied to governments, political behavior is also observed in corporate, academic, religious, and other institutions. Political science is the study of political behavior and examines the acquisition and application of power, i.e. the ability to impose one's will on another.

This site, like NSwiki, is a free open-content encyclopedia concerning politics in general.

Worker's Solidarity Movement[/u]

struggle.ws/wsm/

The Workers Solidarity Movement was founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1984 following discussions by a number of local anarchist groups on the need for a national anarchist organisation. At that time with unemployment and inequality on the rise, there seemed every reason to argue for anarchism and for a revolutionary change in Irish society. This has not changed.

Like most socialists we share a fundamental belief that capitalism is the problem. We believe that as a system it must be ended, that the wealth of society should be commonly owned and that its resources should be used to serve the needs of humanity as a whole and not those of a small greedy minority. But, just as importantly, we see this struggle against capitalism as also being a struggle for freedom. We believe that socialism and freedom must go together, that we cannot have one without the other.

Libertarian Socialism

flag.blackened.net/liberty/libsoc.html

Libertarian Socialism is a term essentially synonymous with the word "Anarchism". Anarchy, strictly meaning "without rulers", leads one to wonder what sort of system would exist in place of one without state or capitalist masters... the answer being a radically democratic society while preserving the maximal amount of individual liberty and freedom possible.

Libertarian Socialism recognizes that the concept of "property" (specifically, the means of production, factories, land used for profit, rented space) is theft and that in a truly libertarian society, the individual would be free of exploitation caused by the concentration of all means of wealth-making into the hands of an elite minority of capitalists.

This site also contains many excellent links on this subject.
