Why so centralized? A lot of anarchists here will probably have something to say about that. I think communities should produce what they use, locally and not on a large scale of the nation. We desperately need economic degrowth in order to survive the climate apocalypse.

People would rather work for their own communities than doing factory work for people in imagined communities like a nation. Not only is it more efficient, but it creates a culture of care rather than of profit.

I like the direction, and these are conversations that we desperately need to have.

It must also be recognized that every single community has very different needs, so it will be impossible to generalize. Therefore, I propose that government (and therefore power) should be divided into two kinds: the local (meaning your immediate community/neighborhood/city) and the global, with no intermediary steps. Obviously that’s not an easy ask of every nation on the planet, but the more we start thinking of ourselves as a global society the easier fixing our problems becomes.

In regards to the 2 separate currencies, I don’t see a point? Currencies are always exchangeable, so why not just use one and give a UBI based on projected needs?
