That's an interesting question. Michael hasn't had much to say about the how to get there question, but one way might be to think of new institutions that could be devised within actually existing k'ism, or the demands that could be made on existing institutions. A problem is that it's not enough to have the internal organization correspond to a parecon model while having to compete in a capitalist market.
I gather that South End & Z have tried to follow parecon principles - what are the conflicts between the model and operating in the publishing/magazine market?
