revolutionary world change

I decided to acquire the domain name homeandlocalfood.co.uk as well as homeandlocalfood.org.uk just to make sure no one else took it, because I thought ‘homeandlocalfood’ was such a good name I was surprised it was still available, and might soon not be. Until today, 11 April 2007, this site has just contained a link to its twin. But it occurred to me it would be useful to have somewhere to put a summing up of where I have got to with investigating the potential of revolutionary world change, and putting the results on various web sites. In particular, I now have quite a few web sites, either my own or ones I look after for groups, so I shall start by saying something about those. (There have been others, but these are the web sites I have now, despite not being expert at this stuff.)

eprofile.exeter.ac.uk... cem219	2 Oct 2008	My ‘Profile’ with University of Exeter.
des4rev.org.uk	7 Jul 2004	This is my main web site and is a repository for the results of a study or project aimed at producing a design for revolution to save the planet, a dual revolution: a land use revolution closely coupled with a social revolution. Permaculture has the potential to become the land use revolution, Marxist socialism the social revolution; I still see no other way. So what I have been doing for over two years is observing those two aspects and stowing on this site what I find.
plantsforafuture.org.uk	4 April 2008	As the last remaining active trustee of the Plants For A Future charitable company, but with ideas about how to take PAF into a new phase concerned with land use research, I acquired this as a holding site for the domain name plantsforafuture.org.uk. Having got the site, it seemed a waste not to put stuff on it, so I started to use it to park ideas about the future – or rather, the transition to the future – of Plants for A Future. The kind of work I see PAF doing is similar to what I hoped to do with the one I discontinued some time ago, permacultureevaluationcentre.org.uk.
helpalllivefairly.org.uk	5 March 2008	Twin site of homeandlocalfood: What else besides obtaining our food locally can each of us do so that there is a fair living for all life on Earth?
habitude.org.uk	9 Apr 2007	A site I set up to explore the questions: How can attitudes and ideology change? and Why are they so resistant to change? The answer, I believe, lies in setting out the ideas of Rupert Sheldake, specifically his ‘hypothesis of formative causation’, as a philosophical concept.
homeandlocalfood.org.uk	19 Nov 2006	A site I set up to investigate: Could the people of Britain grow all the food we need: 1. on the total land of Britain, or even 2. on the land we currently occupy: our home gardens?
worldincommon.org	taken over Feb 2006	The web site of World in Common, ‘a global network of individuals and groups united by our opposition to capitalism and the state and by our search for practical alternatives.’
http://www.gearingd.demon.co.uk	24 Aug 2005	My partner’s web site, with his essays on films, which I maintain for him.
cvoice.org	taken over Jun 2005	This site holds a periodical produced by World in Common.
www.exetersocialists.org.uk	taken over Feb 2005	This site was set up to serve a local group of Marxist socialists.
permacultureevaluationcentre.org.uk	20 Oct 2004	Started at a time of disillusion with permaculture: ‘Twenty years after permaculture ideas and practices were introduced into Britain, there are disappointingly few recognised demonstration sites which show how permaculture can deliver its undoubted promise. There is an urgent need for the application of permaculture design principles to be assessed and shown to work in Britain (and elsewhere in northern Europe).’
