dave cykl@[email protected] Sad to hear this! But w/ only 87 posts, you weren’t really using this as a comms channel much(!). And w/ not really using relevant hashtags in yr posts (y’know, like #Mozilla or #Firefox ) even fewer people will have seen yr posts as they flowed past in the stream… I hope you’ll maintain a Mastodon account somewhere else? (Otherwise this is yet another sad sign of what used to be the best hope for a #communitarian web continuing to get ever more lost at management level.)
Liberal Currents"Walzer describes in both general and highly personal terms how one can be a #liberal and a #democrat, #socialist, #nationalist, #internationalist, #communitarian, #feminist and #Jew all at once." https://www.liberalcurrents.com/understanding-liberalism-in-moral-terms-michael-walzers-the-struggle-for-decent-politics/
dingodogWendell Berry's poetry is quite moving, and he paints a valid picture of the value of a communitarian, agrarian life for all.
Which, if we only had a few million people on Earth, might be a real goal to strive for.
But we have 8 billion now, and we shouldn't even want to be rid of those real human beings. Communitarian agrarianism doesn't scale to 8 billion people.
So what do we do in the situation we find ourselves in?

AusMMTThe role for the #State under my version of #communitarianism looks like this #communitarian #mmt
Extracts from The case for Universal Basic Services (#UBS) by Anna Coote
Since discovering #MMT & associating with & being influenced by true progressives my ideals have shifted to a State supported democratic commons
This is sometimes called communitarianism but not a lot of #communitarian seem to like State involvement. I sit in the larger highlighted area.
One I'd like to add is #communitarian
Jeffrey HowardI consider The Cider House Rules to be one of the greatest #pragmatist novels.
What are other novels, short stories, or novellas that you find to be very pragmatist?
Perhaps it touches on:
-#Democracy as a way of life
-Social nature of truth
-Naturalism
-#Communitarian ethos
-Experience over abstract reason
-Solidarity with others
-Skeptical of #fundamentalism, #scientism, literalism
-Practical consequences of ideas
-Humans as active agents
-Language as a tool
-#Egalitarianism
-#Pluralism
Auntie_G(Re-) #introduction
So, I came here from Twitter, for Reasons. I'm learning the ropes here at Mastodon, and have high hopes based on what I've seen.
I'm interested in #birds, #history, #urban infrastructure, #cycling, #Chicago, trends in #sciencefiction literature, and the #communitarian ethos. I love promoting the work of writers. But I always seem to drift into political discussions, because such are the times we live in.
Montana MagpieHello, all! Let me introduce myself.
— I’m a Conservative Friend (a member of that tiny branch of #Quakers that leans toward what Quakers were centuries ago).
— My 1971 B.A. in #anthropology made me a #communitarian.
— Since the ’80s, an #environmentalist in sympathy with Aldo Leopold, Brower, Soulé, &c.
— In Colorado 1973-2003; came to Billings, #Montana in 2015.
— Not fleeing the bird site, but jaded on FB. This place seems a breath of fresh air in comparison!
