I’ve always been an anarchist. I remember in my circle in Milano, at the Circolo Anarchico La Ghisolfa, we were warning people about the dangers of globalization. We are now shouting out loud that this system is wrong. The solution is as simple as drinking a glass of water; we have to change the way we think.
Let me give you an example: everyone is worried about “saving the planet,” but the planet will always be here in one way or another. The problem is that we have to save humanity from “madness.” We have to save humanity. But as you clearly and perfectly explained, it’s a “disastrous cocktail for an economy.” So maybe the solution is to try to find a solution by “thinking in terms of collective decentralization.” Now the system works like this: I sell a product, and in order to sell it, I have to produce a huge quantity. Moreover, I need to create a demand, and I need to sell all of it. Moreover, if I do not sell, I waste a huge quantity of energy which I will never get back. If we would sell with respect, the banks could create “mini-decentralized-stores” filled with 3D printers able to print anything you like and a huge park of drones ready to deliver at the moment in every corner of a city. The producer would earn royalties thanks to the concept of intellectual property, banks can still make their profit moving on blockchain tech, car industries can be government-run producing drones, improve the idea of renting and pass over for a fee, create a stable and honest resource for every citizen to earn a base income and every extra he can spend as he likes, reduce travel, and move on zeppelins rather than airplanes. If you use a 3D printer in America to produce an item invented in China, you don’t pollute, you don’t create an inequity in the labor market, etc. See how simple it is? Maybe we need to stop for a minute and think in a different way. Nice article, by the way.
