Proutists Add Economic Democracy
Dimension
to Anti-War Demonstrations
(London, PNA) -
Proutists manifested the need for progressive socio-economic action when
joining in the 100,000 strong peace rally marching in London from Hyde Park to
Trafalgar Square on September 27. The proutists
carried a beautiful hand-painted banner that said, "Globalise humanity,
localise economy" and the Prout triangle symbol with "Cooperatives,
self-reliance, spirituality." Fifteen large colorful
signs were also carried with creative slogans like "Economic democracy,
not political hegemony", "We have a dream: food, housing, education,
jobs and health care for all!", "Rampant materialism is destroying
our world", "There's no chance for the welfare of the world unless the
condition of women improves", etc. Photos are available on:

Livingston were personally presented with a copy of the book
After Capitalism: Prout's Vision
For a New World.
