Promote Consensus, Group Ownership vs. Poverty & War?

May 11, 2005

Hi. If interested in this message, would you kindly reply to

LKINDR , since I don't have much time to check

the forum? I'm interested in promoting consensus & group-ownership

communities as a possible means to help end poverty, greed and war.

Do you think group-ownership and consensus could bring such results,

if practiced on a large scale? Do you think much of society could be

persuaded to try consensus group-ownership for the purpose of ending

poverty and war?

The bible does favor consensus and common ownership in Mat. 20:25-28

and Acts 2:44 & 4:32.

However, I think common ownership may need to be modified for

beginners in these times. My thinking is that those who own property

would not mind relinquishing possession, if they were permitted to

remain as caretakers of the property until they're ready to allow

their community to assign others to be caretakers or users of the

property. Do you think similarly?

I'd like to partner with one or more people who are especially

interested in promoting such communities to society at large.

Thank you for listening and maybe replying, if you like. Aloha. Lloyd
