We were taught to call it the market, but it was always a negotiation with dragons.
What grows when we nurture belonging and care together?

In a world consumed by greed and inequality, we must embrace decentralization, consensus, distributed ledgers, and AI to build a better society. Imagine a world without capitalism, where power is shared and decisions are made collectively. #Anarchy #PostCapitalism

I'm listening to "Postcapitalism" right now. It's mind-blowing.

Did you know Marx (essentially) predicted the rise of AI?

That JP Morgan in 2013 said "in order for neo-liberalism to survive democracy must fade"?

Not at the part where he tells us the solution to the current moment yet 😅

…In the long term, is this our route to UBI, with heavily taxed top ups for paid employment, and status coming from attention rather than money?

Work is essential, but wages are not. Anarchism envisions a world beyond hierarchy, where resources are shared, democracy is direct, and all live as equals. The future belongs to mutual aid, not profiteers. #Anarchism #MutualAid #PostCapitalism #DirectDemocracy

Hippies were a counterculture movement generally clocked as 1960s to early 70s. By counterculture, I refer to a larger cultural shift toward civil rights, postcapitalism, and climate responsibility (to define it loosely).
