1. Umm...

Aren't these "thousands of diverse, locally-rooted, grassroots economic projects" actually a PART of capitalism? They are springing up, operating, and thriving (some of them) precisely because individuals are free to transact business with other individuals or groups at their leisure, whereas under a centrally-planned economic system, many such projects would not be allowed to operate legally?

I think these types of groups are great, and I think oursomewhat-unfettered economic system allows such alliances to provide a healthy alternative for those so inclined.
