1. Introduction
   1. About me
      1. Your least well schooled contributor I am sure!
      2. Everything here is "self-taught" - more absorbed
      3. Discussion welcome, but expecting clever answers to sharp questions is probably out!
   2. Political journey
      1. Liberal family
      2. Conservative School...but...
      3. Into public sector, UNISON, OXTUC etc
      4. Never comfortable with the conformity demanded
      5. Lib Dem City Councillor
      6. Monetary reformer, Georgism
      7. Mutualism
   3. Not the Co-op
2. Mutualism the movement
   1. Origins
      1. Proudhon, Warren, Tucker - the US "Individualist Anarchists"
   2. Development
   3. Core ideas
      1. "Free-market anti-capitalism"
      2. Modified labour theory of value
         1. Time preference
         2. Level of "generalisation"
      3. State the root of exploitation
         1. Money monopoly
         2. Land monopoly
         3. Tariff system
         4. Intellectual Property monopoly
   4. Relationship to other "libertarianisms"
   5. Relationship to "state socialism"
3. Mutualism the method
   1. "Achieving anarchism" is always a big issue
      1. Evolutionary?
      2. Revolutionary?
      3. Participation is statist systems and activities?
   2. Building the new inside the shell of the old.
      1. Creating the institutions that will be needed
      2. Where exististing politics can come in: promoting these measures whenever successful they love to hitch their names to a success that "saves money" or "sounds cuddly" - they may not notice they are watering the saplings of the state's destruction!
      3. Is this too gradualist? Not necessarily, pick the high profile issues - government says we can no longer defend ourselves, can no longer afford the police we need - what are the two usual claims that only the state can provide?
4. "Viral Anarchism"
   1. Drivers
      1. Bankruptcy of welfare ponzi scheme
      2. Intrusions into civil liberties
      3. distrust of politicians
      4. failure of state protected financial system
      5. Spencer and Nock's worries about whether it could ever change
   2. Projects
      1. Community land trusts
      2. Open capital partinerships
      3. Private policing and arbitration (Gil Guillory)
      4. Alternatives to intellectual property (Kinsella et al)
      5. Alternative to ID
      6. Entrepreneurialism, but willing to eschew (some of?) the benefits of state created privilege to advance no-state solutions
