community wealth building is a concept, but also a practical way of chipping away at neoliberalism and the questions of power and wealth.
What we need to do is democratize our economy. That doesn’t just mean the state controlled. It means control partly by the state. In certain instances, it might be fit for purpose; this could deal with railways or whatever it may be. But it’s also that wider democratization of ownership, that plural forms of democratization...
the individual who may have some spare capital in their bank account. Most people don’t give it a second thought. They just sit it in the bank and it incurs interest, be it an ethical bank or whatnot. Where is the opportunities for them to invest in community shares or a local project, which may also bring a return, perhaps an equal return, maybe even more of a return? So the options are not there. I think that the important thing about community wealth-building strategies and links to economic strategy is to raise the bar on how one uses the capital that is in a place, the finance that is in the place, and what we as individuals do in that locality.
Increasingly, certain sectors in different parts of the world, you can see it lend itself to particular forms of democratic ownership, either railways or perhaps state-owned railways. When it comes to things like childcare or some forms of everyday retail, this might lend itself to workers’ co-op or other forms of democratic ownership.

Modi का DU दौरा: लगे Jai Sri Ram के नारे, छात्रों और अध्यापकों ने दर्ज कराया विरोध | newslaundry Jul 1, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFyZlBtZGKI pmmodi ने शुक्रवार को delhiuniversity के शताब्दी समारोह में शिरकत की. इसके लिए पीएम मोदी ने अपना सफर मेट्रो से तय किया. वे लोककल्याण मार्ग से विश्वविद्यालय स्टेशन तक मेट्रो से पहुंचे. इसके बाद पीएम मोदी मेट्रो स्टेशन के बाहर लगे गाड़ियों के काफिले से समारोह स्थल तक पहुंचे.
पीएम मोदी तो आराम से मेट्रो में सफर करते दिखाई दिए लेकिन प्रोटोकॉल के चलते किए गए सुरक्षा इंतजामों ने मेट्रो के अंदर और बाहर दोनों जगह आम जनता को खासा परेशान किया. मेट्रो स्टेशन के बाहर के इलाके को चारों ओर से बैरिकेड किया हुआ था तो वहीं मेट्रो स्टेशन के अंदर भी सुरक्षा के कड़े इंतजाम किए गए थे.
बता दें कि जब हम शताब्दी समारोह की कवरेज के लिए पहुंचे तो हमें विश्वविद्यालय मेट्रो स्टेशन के बाहर ही रोक दिया गया. पीएम मोदी के समारोह से जाने के बाद ही, रास्ते खोले गए और कैंपस एरिया में एंट्री मिली. हमने पीएम का संबोधन सुनने वाले छात्रों से बात की. प्रधानमंत्री ने शताब्दी समारोह में लंबा चौड़ा भाषण दिया. इस दौरान उन्होंने कंप्यूटर सेंटर, फैकल्टी ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी और अकैडमिक ब्लोक की आधारशिला रखी.
जैसे ही मोदी के भाषण का समाप्त हुआ तो वहां मौजूद छात्रों ने जय श्री राम के नारे लगाए.

Uttarakhand To Implement Uniform Civil Code After Final Draft Report Is Ready Says CM Dhami https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNDNhW4lgn0 | Jun 30, 2023 Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami speaks with News18 as he announced that a Uniform Civil Code will be implemented in the state at the earliest.
how Aaj Tak’s Sudhir Chaudhary whipped up fear and rage about “gaming jihad” – a new and insidious scourge in India by which young Hindu boys are allegedly “converted” online. In his broadcast on June 6, Chaudhary said two of the boys were from Ghaziabad and one each from Faridabad and Chandigarh. According to Chaudhary, they were purportedly “lured to believe that by memorising the aayats of the Quran, they can win online games, that by adopting Islam, miracles will happen in their lives”.
Newslaundry investigated Chaudhary’s remarks and found they are riddled with holes. ..
The parent of one of the other two teenagers told Newslaundry her son has never interacted with Baddo, (the socalled insitgatot, who sold some “computer parts” to one Rohan, two years ago.) Instead, her son’s phone number was mentioned in the FIR because his number was found on Rohan’s mobile phone. The parent also said it was Rohan, not a mysterious Muslim man online, who tried to coax her son into showing an interest in Islam.

China the Glue Driving India, US Ties; Biden Betting on Modi St https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy7lF4LEYZA Siddharth Varadarajan spoke to India’s former National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to the US, the deals signed, the politics and economics involved, and China's role in bringing the two nations together
Comment: @sagniksarkar1215
But one major concern can be hard to shrug off:- US has immense strategic gain in inciting a sub nuclear military conflict between India & China thus bogging down China in its neighbourhood while it's already encircling china by QUAD, AUKUS & US allies like Japan, South Korea, Singapore.
Not only will it reduce our diplomatic manouevrability but force us further to be dependent on American aid with any russian support unlikely. In the long run being dependent on US logistical chains for such sensitive tech further enhances the risk of being strong armed to obey US interests. They have a history of leveraging key tech like shutting GPS access in Kargil war.
The exact same grand strategy has been replicated in Ukraine of the Euromaidan coup of 2014 in Ukraine that was followed by 8 yrs of planning culminating in what's clearly a russian strategic defeat & obliteration of russian sphere of influence. Merkel & others have now openly admitted to the fact that the Minsk Agreement was just cover for Ukraine being prepared for war. It's US that has obviously gained the most at the cost of Ukrainian lives.
A similar intention may not be brushed off as completely conspirational.
While it is most certainly true that this is no 62, Indian armed forces are far more capable & well equipped with military edge in the Tibetan highlands due to access to high altitude airfields. It's rational to accept that it will be asymmetric warfare for us against the Chinese.
Therefore if the door is wide open, an overtly rosy deal is being offered:- in the long run an equally prickly payback might some day be demanded.

Emergency then, Emergency now, A new population of thugs, cutting across all class barriers, infused with the saffron hue, have sprung up in the past few years. Nandana Reddy, Konarak Reddy, JUN 28 2023 https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/panorama/emergency-then-emergency-now-1232188.html
During the Assembly elections in Karnataka, Modi’s campaign included a drive past my home on New Tippasandra Road. His ‘parade’ was scheduled for Sunday morning, but we were barricaded inside our homes from Friday evening itself. Shops were ordered to close, hawkers and vendors driven away, trees chopped down, and electrical lines cut because they were hanging lower than the required clearance of 20 feet for his convoy. Young BJP workers scaled my compound wall without permission, climbed my tree, and invaded my compound. The whole street was saffron-ised. Saffron buntings, flags, posters, and placards. On Sunday morning, van loads of people were ferried in and given caps, shawls, and flower petals. Modi’s drive-past lasted less than 10 seconds. Surrounded by Black Cats carrying AK 47s at the ready, the paramilitary, several hundreds of policemen, police vans and ambulances. He stood inside his bullet-proof casing, grumpy, expressionless, waving like a marionette. For the first time in 70 years, I felt fear and considered locking my gate and front door, but resisted the temptation...
