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?

Wouldn’t it be something to see this rolled out to people working on free (as in freedom) technology for the common good so we didn’t have to bake in ways of surviving under the current capitalist system into the tech we’re designing just so we can pay the “cost of living?”
“Sustainable” under capitalism has a very different meaning – it means making a profit (even if you’re a not-for-profit) whereas “sustainable” in general has no such connotation.

Microdemocracy: A Path Beyond Capitalism
Microdemocracy offers a concrete path beyond capitalism by promoting direct local participation in decision-making. It opposes multiple systems of domination and social enclosure by restoring real power to communities, fostering responsibility, and encouraging democratic autonomy.#Microdemocracy #PostCapitalism #Democracy #Decentralization Microdemocracy refers to a small-scale political organization mode that promotes direct…

“At press time, North America’s influencers have begun being replaced by AI influencers who are all currently endorsing selling your healthy organs to extend the lives of wealthy billionaires.”
ps. Feudalism (“post-capitalism”) is what we get when the self-styled “anarcho-capitalists” (Milei in Argentina, & his fumbling crony in the USA) tear down what actually makes “the market” somewhat accommodating of democracy.

#Solarpunk: A Deep Dive into the Cultural Revolution #Reimagining Our Future
The Philosophy Behind the Movement: More Than Just #SolarPanels
Solarpunk represents not just an aesthetic or literary movement, but a comprehensive framework for reimagining human civilization. Its strength lies in combining practical technical solutions with radical social and cultural innovation, while remaining grounded in ecological reality and human needs. As we face cascading environmental and social crises, Solarpunk offers not just hope, but a practical pathway forward that is both revolutionary and achievable.

Excerpts: "While mainstream coverage often focuses on Solarpunk’s aesthetic elements, the movement represents a fundamental reimagining of human civilization’s relationship with technology, nature, and itself. At its core, Solarpunk challenges the dominant narratives of both techno-optimism and eco-pessimism, proposing instead a radical middle path that embraces both technological advancement and ecological wisdom.
#Decolonial Roots and #Indigenous Influence
"Often overlooked in basic Solarpunk discussions is the movement’s deep connection to #IndigenousKnowledge systems and decolonial thinking. Many Solarpunk principles mirror traditional ecological practices:
- The concept of “#SeventhGeneration” decision-making from #Haudenosaunee philosophy
- #AustralianAboriginal practices of landscape management and fire ecology
- #Andean concepts of “#BuenVivir” (good living) that emphasize harmony between human communities and natural systems
- Traditional #Asian #agricultural practices that create #ClosedLoop systems
The Political Economy of Solarpunk
Beyond #GreenCapitalism
"Solarpunk explicitly rejects the notion that market forces alone can address environmental challenges. Instead, it proposes alternative economic models:
- Commons-based peer production
- Gift economies for local exchange
- Circular economic systems that eliminate waste
- Democratic ownership of key infrastructure
- Time banking and alternative currencies
- #Degrowth economics in overdeveloped regions
#TechnologicalSovereignty
"Unlike techno-utopian visions that centralize control in #corporate hands, Solarpunk advocates for:
- #OpenSource technology development
- #CommunityOwned and maintained infrastructure
- Appropriate technology scaled to local needs
- #RightToRepair and modify equipment
- Distributed manufacturing through #makerspaces
- Knowledge sharing networks independent of #corporate control"

Early currencies like shells or salt supported barter and exchange. Capitalism shifted money into a tool for accumulation — linking value to scarcity (silver, gold, fiat) and fueling inequality. #MonetaryTheory #PostCapitalism
For decades leftists have cheerfully called some especially troublesome developments in our society #LateStageCapitalism or post capitalism - acting like those developments were a sign that capitalism has run its course and we'd be freed from it soon.
I never understood that, as the natural successor to (hyper) capitalism is fascism, not socialism.
I wish I had been wrong.
#capitalism #SurveillanceFascism #HyperCapitalism #FalseHope
@phneutral @parismarx @danmcquillan True to some extent. We see artificial scarcity in a greater extent today then ever before although not everywhere yet. We still have to work e.t.c.. What Ai can bring is the last mile so to speak. For us to be really free.. we need food, energy and transportation without cost. Today these things still cost.. and thus not free.. thus not abundant. With Ai and through robots this can truly be made freely as no real work by humans is needed.. and real abundance.
Yes, with Ai and robots I see it possible we could have an #UBI based society. #postcapitalism .. Where we ourselves chose what we will do with out own time... but this can probably not be done without "thinking" robots.
Peter Joseph's next project #Integral looks promising, though his paper on it isn't out yet, neither is the movie. I've been hoping for something to happen in the #PostCapitalism space. This might be the time to start an organization around post-capitalism. Anyone on here interested in these topics, or know where to find people who are?
Here's an overview video he made if you're interested: https://youtu.be/ZVjaeYYT8aE
The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.
That’s why we need the Open Media Network.
Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.
Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.

Why It Matters
If metadata is the new currency, then open metadata is the new commons. Capitalism runs on closed systems — the #OMN runs on shared knowledge and decentralized trust.
This isn’t about perfect tech. It’s about:
Human-scale trust
Community autonomy
Fast, messy, democratic distribution
Real-world resilience
It’s not utopia. It’s compost — and we’ve got the shovels.
