Talk:Contributionism

This either needs to be filled in or deleted. This really gives almost no information at all. For one thing, there is no indication as to why it is important nor any suggestion that anyone aside from the author posted it to advertise for the book which, last I checked was being sold new for $56. https://www.amazon.com/UBUNTU-Contributionism-Michael-Tellinger/dp/1920153128 A pretty hefty price for a book that advocates the abolition of money. It is, however, cheaper from the author's/organization's own online shop ("only" $25). Also, it seems inadequate to describe it as a social structure or a "worldwide social movement" if it is only a book and not actually implemented. Finally, there is no "critique" section, no background, no context, nor a single reference or link outside of the book. At the least, one could include a link to the "movement's" webpage: https://www.ubuntuplanet.org On that page one can see this "global movement" which was based in South Africa on indigenous philosophy, founded by a white settler, and advertised with sexy white women (no black women/men) selling "movement" t-shirts for $45. At those prices, there is a bit of irony: Wikipedia itself seems to operate more on the principle of "contributionism" than they do. Unless this entry can be made more edifying than an ad for the book, I recommend it to be deleted.

Added a redirect to Ubuntu (Philosophy) main page and moved this text to a subheading on that page. Cntepe (talk) 14:31, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
