As from 'my' FB Page:
The living plan for Co-operative Socialism replaces 'Ownership' of economic resources (ie Theft of economic resources) with non-transferable, time-limited, Co-operative Careship.
The following article illustrates the troubles caused by all forms of inheritance (without recognising that it does so).
This posting flows from three sources, in chronological order:
1) Several years' ago, one of the male McMullen brewing family, in conversation with me in Hertford (on the border between Wessex and the East Anglkan Danelaw) that, in the former, Wessex, primogeniture (inheritance by the oldest son) was the rule, while in the latter, Danelaw, inheritance was to the youngest son (ultrageniture, I think).
The extra-family/warfare implications (and, also, the intra-family conflicts) of this are obvious.
2) A 'picked-up' reading of John Le Patourel's book, 'The Norman Empire' points to an article by JC Holt (which I can't afford to buy) wherein these tensions in post-1066 'society' and ruling 'elites' (Mafiosi) result in bloodshed.
That led to the following survey of inheritance (the dictated passing on of stolen goods):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_inheritance_systems#Cultural_patterns_of_child-preference
3) Finally, at Monday evdning's Red Pepper-hosted event, our solution ( Co-operstive Careship, limited as described above) to 'Ownership' (of stolen economic resources) was not known to the panelists.
Oh dear.
