confirmation   " yes, i am in the group" 

from mika (nomad "activist",  often in tbilsi, florence..)

"

sorry in advance I have difficulty in writing  .. don't have much experience in writing  .. 

most of the people don't know me here .. 

 I have participated in last two social forums .. I am here as an individual and not as part of organization or collective.  In Tunis I did express my criticism toward the  mechanisms of decision making and the "organization" of IC and as a result did  "invite" myself  in this group as an observer  to follow the processes and propose suggestions for more  transparency, inclusivity, democracy, coherency, horizontality, openness, representativity, ambition ..  

also if things changes for better,  would like to help   in gaining the trust in  World Social Forum (as permanently active  network, platform, methodology, process.. Internet social forums, local social forums, nomad social forums)  specially  to gain the trust In WSF in the worlds social movements and indipendent activists. 

 

with respect..  and hope for the best outcomes .. 

in my view the WSF has to  change radicaly or it will slowly die.. 

also have finger crossed for Montreal .. this can be an opportunity to propose the new  WSF as a main platform for the activism. 

I think It will be a success   ( appart for the visas and expensive transportation problems) 

here short intro..  

my name is Mika born in Tbilisi , Georgia ( USSR) after the colpase of the Soviet Union emigrated with mother  to Italy when I was 11 since when 17 kind of "nomad"...with time  + "activist" 

 ... becouse of the place I was born, emigrated and historical contexts and situations i was confronted with ..

i  have some personal  experiences with the  problems related to the education,  imperialisms, emigration,  unemployment, "food", "authoritarianism", "ignorance" individualism, exclusion, poverty, racism, homelessness, nationalism, corruption..  

  

I try to be active in different ways  against all forms of discriminations, dominations,  exploitations .. 

for the justice, equality, freedom, respect, happiness .. for the  people, for the animals and for the nature. 

places were I am often Tbilisi, Florence, France , Istanbul.. ..

!!!!  one thing wich can exponentially make WSF would be 

 the ONLINE WORLD SOCIAL FORUM would be of a great impact  to create   a "SOCIAL NETWORK" website competing with Facebook.. Google.. 

there is riseup.net, thechangebook.. openfsm.. and other similar interesting projects but there is a need of an ambitious ,democratic, non commercial,  functional resource, which can  technically      offer   similar  services and tools as Facebook, Google, Skype and other corporations offer ..

SOCIAL NETWORK for the convergence of all struggles ,  coordination and networking between activist all year long... but also a space   where  alternative medias, culture, arts, communication, information  divulgation ,  database, archive , online library and other similar project can find space  ...   )
