Written within a few weeks of the events September 11 2001 an alternative response and call for peace by Wendell Berry as opposed to the reaction of so called world 'leaders' call to rename forever war.

A return to human community as stewardship and a lasting peace is possible.

@agentpalisade so many initiatives, fewer 'fields' - keywords I'd include in 'tech beyond capitalism': #commons, #cosmolocalism, tech worker #coops, platform coops, computing within limits #Limits2026, #TechOtherwise, #convivial tech, #relationality, #DesignJustice, #crip #technoscience, #MutualAid, #sufficiency, #frugal computing, #degrowth, #postgrowth, #fediverse, #solarpunk, #permacomputing, de/anti-colonial work, and other things we love at https://justsustainabilitydesign.org/ :) What did I miss?

We, the majority, have never in modern political history had democracy i.e. government by the people. Participative democracy has to be the next experimental democracy, or maybe we are to late for that.
I can only hope and continue to talk because that has always been how the narrative develops.

A popup village of builders and ecological economists is settling into Austria's Höllental (Hell Valley) for a month from 24 August: the Valley of the Commons.

Dante's ninth hell wasn't fire, it was ice: betrayal, a trust broken quietly. That's closer to what capitalism did to the commons.

Not another isolated eco-village. A cosmo-local hub, the modern monastery: design and governance travel global, food, energy and care stay local.

There are many forms of democracy that have to, by definition, be an experiment. Representation has had its day.
I don't need professional politicians; I need an accountable civil service.
I don't need lobbyists; I need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.

I recommend reading the chapter entitled, 'The History they Didn’t Teach you At School’ in Jeremy Lent’s new book Ecocivilization. It portrays just some of the tragedies caused by the wealth creation addiction of predatory capitalism, from the enclosure of the Commons in Europe, to the looting of colonies, through to the debtbased system of neoliberalism. It is heart-breaking.
@jeremyrlent #cosmolocalism there is a way out of this mess.

“Globalised economic development has cut like a knife through our human relationships and through our connections to the living world. Rural communities and smaller towns have been destroyed, as people have been forced to seek employment in urban centres. This, in turn, has led to mass immigration. It has also led to increased time pressures, with people running faster and faster in an ever more competitive economy."https://www.byronmagazine.com/news/helena-norberg-hodge?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwNyqDNjbGNrA3KnWmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEetCP_JUdBgLFY8x_fhSKTWn_x4zWXeZfFfDUOQ10s9aX7EG0cSuBn73WEZ4s_aem_5P6AqDu0510PgwaQTFJMEw

@ChrisMayLA6 Echoes of the past can be heard in the problems of the present. The revolutionary notion of democracy was put on hiatus in 1787, and the coup of the oligarchs continues to this day. https://riverasun.com/oligarchy-as-american-as-poisoned-apple-pie
#WeThePeoples need to stop history repeating itself & learn from it. #Justice #universalequality #universaleducation #UnityInDiversity planetisation is the only future for these things. #patriarchalcapitalism has to end as part of that process.
A possible way forward, no professional politicians, a well trained, accountable, and properly staffed civil service. #Cosmolocalism through peoples assemblies, sortition. To my mind, that is #participativedemocracy
The representative democracy experiment needs to end.

@zephry There are many forms of democracy that have to, by definition, be an experiment. Representation has had its day.
I don't need professional politicians; I need an accountable civil service.
I don't need lobbyists; I  need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.

A way forward, no professional politicians, a well trained, accountable, and properly staffed civil service. #Cosmolocalism through peoples assemblies, sortition. To my mind, that is #participativedemocracy
Representative democracy experiment which needs to end.

We can call it politics. We can call it economics, and we could call it sovereignty.
I call it #patriarchalcapitalism it's adapting it's how it has survived for so long. They are becoming like each other for a reason.
Whilst commentary is important for education & awareness raising purposes. The real questions, too many to list have to be;
how can we stop it?
What are the alternatives available now?
How can I contribute to raising awareness of them?
Can I be part of their development?

So, I believe we are creating alternative partnership frameworks.
We can, in fact, have to act locally. This has always been at the root of cultural and societal transformation and change.
The challenge for humanity, therefore, for each one of us, at this liminal point in history, is to share/think on a planetary scale.
