The Dutch author and activist Emil Jacobs has published an article in which he advocates for the labor time calculation proposed by the “Group of International Communists” (GIK) and suggests establishing a labor time economy in the here and now.

„Not only can we start right away, setting up worker coops, instead of waiting for the revolution, it’s also an explicitly communist economy we would be building. We would gain experience while building the movement, solving inevitable problems we have along the way. We would build a more elaborate planned and cybernetic alternative economy the bigger this gets, and we would not only build our forces for the revolution, we would actually hold vast economic assets in our class war with the capitalists.“

About the main work of the GIC, Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution, he writes: „This book is a true gem that for decades wasn’t really read on the far left in the Netherlands, as far as I’m aware anyway. This situation should really be rectified: in my not so humble opinion, it should be considered a standard work of marxism.“ 

We fully agree with this! The entire article can be read here:
