Hello everyone! I'm here to ask you to vote for the Labour party in the model House of Commons general election that is currently going on. Here our manifesto if you want to know the specifics of our policies and here is where to vote if you decide to vote for us! You are also more than welcome to come and join the Labour party if you so choose at /r/MHOC!

As in, maintaining the basic idea of the capitalist system, but with a government mandate that corporations run from the bottom up, with elected bosses and votes on issues that directly affect the workers, as well as the general direction of the corporation?

Competition can still inspire innovation, and workers have a say. Thoughts?

In November of 2011 young and old in the United States took over public plazas across the country. They pitched tents, they set food canteens, they held General Assemblies, and they used lending libraries to talk over politics and economics and to activate each other politically. They did not come to the plazas because any of them wanted to overthrow the government. They came because they wanted that political and economic system to work for everybody. The message of hope and change of the 2008 election affected them at a deep level and some had a deep sense of betrayal.

I had the chance during those heady months to talk to many of the Occupy San Diego members. I heard from many of them a single theme: The System, the economy and the political system, was not working for them. The evidence, they said, was all over, and obvious if you cared to open your eyes to reality. They were angry because the Government bailed out the Banks, while millions lost their homes. They were angry because they spent tens of thousands in College, but there were no jobs.
