Do we still to fear the old "socialist" label? I don't think so. In fact, it will be key to our survival. Enterprise needs to be shared: shared responsibilities and shared benefits.

I'm glad you found my transcriptions! I put them there because spoken word often transcribes into commentary that can really capture the feel of what someone is saying. And so I can refer back to it more easily! I've started a new site, by the way: www.integratedlifeproject.com. I'll be starting a biodynamic apprenticeship in a couple weeks, and recording that, as well as my ongoing reflections and analysis of such things as neosubsistence and the economics (and culture) of self-sufficient households and communities. Love your podcast! Hi Frank,

How wonderfully put. “-when you’re a farmer then you’re out in nature, and you see all of these wonderful dramas and these things of beauty, and you hear the wind blowing through the trees and so forth, and the farmer has many opportunites to break through and see God directly.”

Frank that is not you, not that it would bother me. If finding discussing ways to feed, house, tooling and philosophise about the world, while respecting nature is socialist then call me a socialist, I can't see anything wrong with it. Anyway people often confuse socialism with totalitarianism, they are not the same thing. While we hear so much about the scourge of socialism from the right they so often miss see the corporate totalitarian state running rampage (Monsanto, BP JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs ) Your not socialist anyway, that idiot attempts to trivialise what you do and my advise, for what it's worth is don't be disheartened. He is just another fool walking around with his head in the sand. The denial is so much bigger than AGW. As is becoming clearer by the day the entire system is based on a false premise of endless resources. Currently all our systems of production and finance promote this falsehood. As Scott Russell Sanders Said, We needn't be optimistic but we must find reasons to remain hopeful. Fighting against such powers must start here and now with us in whatever ways we can. In what we think and do and how we interact with others. What you have done and what you still do is to assemble a very important practical resource for people and have created a socially important historical document of the lives and work of some wonderful and mostly unsung hero's and heroines.
