It's been a while since I have written a piece involving municipal politics. Sometimes a story comes along that one cannot ignore. I don't claim to know everything about this movement, but what I know is the philosophy is similar to socialist, communist propaganda that I have seen before. Here is a link where plans for Walsenburg are discussed by the organizers for UBUNTU: www.fullcircleproject.net/status/24268 .
The idea that capitalism is "doom and gloom" and the suggestion that abandoning national identity is a step towards salvation for the world is the same rhetoric heard on the national news. Somehow globalism with all it entails is supposed to forge a new unity of the human spirit and cause people to share their labor and goods to make the world a better place. The translation is that people who are willing to work will contribute so others don't have to. Take a look at this link explaining the project:

It is difficult to express my degree of surprise to see this operation being promoted in Walsenburg. A grassroots socialist movement seems to be something that would take place in Europe or the Middle East, but we somehow appeared on the target screen and the movement is being promoted. The video states that it is necessary for the citizens, the mayor, and the city council to work together.
One of the goals is to shut down businesses by competing with the labor market. When citizens give their time freely then businesses cannot compete. Free labor? Novel idea. That will show the capitalists who is the real boss.
I welcome you to do more research on this group. Other functions it is identified with are "The Transition House," and "UBUNTU." Acronyms associated with the group are "UAC,RBE,TZM,and TVP."
There are people who are promoting this movement nationally. We should look at what it promotes.
