We must BE Iceland as the widening cracks in Trump's evil regime destroy the global far right.

Let's not reboot a failed system once the Orange One and his acolytes are gone.

Let's throw them in jail & press 'Full Reset' to build a new democratic world, bottom up.

The UK and US chose to bail out the rich, blame the poor, and turbo-charge inequality.

Iceland chose justice, transparency and public power.
And got a healthier society.

The UK and US got Trump, Farage, austerity, culture wars and a collapsing environment.

Within a few years, Iceland had:

The fastest-growing economy in Europe
Low unemployment
Rising wages
Falling inequality
Stable public finances

All WITHOUT protecting billionaire gamblers or rescuing failed banks.

At the same time, Iceland rebuilt its economy around things that actually sustain a society:

• renewable energy
• sustainable fishing
• tourism
• tech
• strong social protections

Not fantasy finance and casino capitalism.

The assembly process drove the introduction of:

• stronger oversight
• tougher banking regulation
• curbs on corruption
• public ownership of resources
• far greater civic engagement

A radical reset.

The usual US & EU billionaire media propagandists mocked it as 'naïve.'

Iceland's political class fought ferociously to block some of the assembly's recommendations.

But enough people power was adopted to change the country's politics forever.

Next came the real magic.

Iceland wrote a new constitution — not the elites, not the corporate lobbyists.

A national assembly of 950 randomly selected citizens.
