My difference from Agorism and Counter-Economy:
My views were formed many years before I found the theories related to me.
Specially searched when the opportunity appeared.
Agorism is close to me.
By the way, I participated in the construction of such a community in 1988.
We imagined the community of communities - in the future.
But I do not fully agree with Agorism:
You can not abruptly abandon the state, -
- I believe.
However, the rejection of the state is a utopia. - The population of no country will not support it.
It is necessary to focus on a long period of symbiosis with the state, as well as pressure on it.
The way lies - through the development of the Civil Society:
There is no need to invent a bicycle here - "pressure", civil society now controls, Direct democracy mechanisms, trade unions, activist activists, feminists, etc.
Self-government instead of arbitrariness:
"Agora" -Obschiny can become totalitarian, with arbitrariness instead of self-government.
- It is necessary to create not completely independent experimental diverse "micro-peoples", but mechanisms similar to today's international institutions for the protection of human rights.
Autonomy instead of independence:
"Micro-peoples" can live not only on floating islands, but also - within sufficiently free states.
For example, in Greenland.
"Sprouting" instead of taking power:
It is necessary to experiment not only with the vitality and internal culture of the Communities, but also with the expansion and expansion of them within states.
Network Infrastructure:
Per Bylund offers a decentralized infrastructure for free communities.
I also considered it necessary to start with the creation of the "Advisory structure" and IT tools of the Network Economy - the unifying Communities.
I also saw this infrastructure as a service infrastructure, while preserving the independence of the community.
Freedom can not be absolute, -
- just as there is no absolute - private property:
• The land owner can not cover it with radioactive cobalt,
• The owner of the Stradivari violins is their servant, and
• The sheep owner must comply with numerous regulations on the humane treatment of animals.
The freedom of an individual ends not only where it infringes - the freedom of another individual, but, more often, - the caprice of the latter.
The second restriction of freedom is purely social, - where the collective is infringed, humanity. - It remains even after the complete elimination of the consideration of the interests of the government.
Freedom of Communities is limited -
- international law and collective agreements of the Communities themselves.
On the other hand, Infrastructure not only limits how much it helps the Communities, realizes the advantage of "Concentration of production" - without administrative centralization.
Non-violence:
Civil IT systems are adequate to their core environment - the Internet. -
- They will not have bosses, orders, - authorities.
Violence will not be the basis for the observance of alternative law by the participants of the Network.
To criminals, only non-lethal funds will be used.
Network Economy:
- this is my main difference from Agorism.
It does not mean the Internet economy, although the Network Economy tool is IT, an Internet tool.
This refers to the information cooperation of small, mostly independent business executives, using IT tools and Internet tools.
For example, agricultural integration:
Everyone sees each other in real time:
Farmers, processors, carriers, custodians, final buyers.
Do not just see, but 100% transparent - all the information relating to the standard - to the point. - Prices, possible time, desired directions and other conditions agreed by participants with the help of intelligent IT assistants.
"Uber" - a taxi network is a "1st swallow":
Although the idea of a network economy I was thinking back in the 1990s. Even tried to program.
And in 2002 he advertised in newspapers - he was looking for like-minded employees.
No ban on private property, but on the contrary - its maximum freedom:
I am a liberal socialist.
The reason for the costs of capitalism is not the freedom of entrepreneurship, but, on the contrary, monopolism - political lobbyism, non-freedom of information.
The cheapening of IT technologies and Artificial Intelligence make it efficient and profitable to remove all "narrow bottlenecks", zero the profit completely marketable.
True, this requires a powerful and well-developed public information network.
I'm an opponent of drugs,
I'm opposed to such aspects of the "Counter-economy" as:
• Illicit drug trafficking,
• Illegal trade & nbsp; weapons,
• Voluntary prostitution.
First, they do not like me.
Although, no less than I do not like the state regulation of their turnover.
I am sure that civil structures - with the help of IT systems, will control these areas more efficiently than the state.
"Control from within an interested society will be more effective than external orders that have been dropped from the Center and instructions for combating drug trafficking."
Of course, people's interests differ from the interests of the government, but not to such a degree.
Although, in the second dictatorial world, breaking the law as a method of nonviolent struggle can be an effective means of democratization.
2 process edges:
1. Inside the Network of Participants.
- By the principle of "Utopia - for utopians",
2. "Export" to an ordinary society.
- Alternative economy should not be invented, but - to look for ways to develop the existing system.
"Fair trade" is the counterbalancing of the anti-liberal, protectionist scam of liberals.
But "the direct influence of workers on what to do with profits, the willingness of companies to set prices based on cost, transparency of doing business" is really a utopia.
Ukraine - "weak link" of the 2nd world:
The main threat to "Fair Trade" and, in general, democracy is outside the democratic countries.
The threat comes from the Kremlin and similar regimes.
Therefore, it is important to promote Fair Trade, agor and the Network Economy, not only and not so much in the US, as in the countries of the 2nd world.
The success of the movement in Ukraine will be the most powerful blow to the opponents.
On the other hand, -
In Ukraine, self-employed - the main class of Konkin, - an order of magnitude more than in the US.
In Ukraine, the counter-economy, including the black market of heavy industry, is developed, is an order of magnitude greater than in the United States.
& nbsp;
I consider the above trends - not idealistic imaginary fantasies, but - a natural process.
Although not inevitable. - It depends on us - who will win - Direct or "Controlled" democracy, God or the Devil.
& nbsp;
Stages of society development: Resource? Machine? Informational
1. Resource - the basis of the economy - natural resources, - people, earth.
Who owns them, he "orders music".
2. Machine - the basis of the economy - hand-built equipment.
3. Information.
Distinctions of my understanding of the Information Society from Bell's "Post-Industrial Society":
"If in an industrial society the main figures were an entrepreneur, businessman, head of an industrial enterprise, today - scientists, representatives of intellectual technologies" (Daniel Bell).
- Today, the main figures are the same property owners, only "intellectual".
In order for the presidents to fulfill the will of scientists, more precisely, to make the presidents become a nominal position, they are necessary:
1. The relevant organization, - "Consultative structure", - the global structure of engineering development, in which excess universal remote-controlled equipment, machines - rented for short periods of time, - with per-second billing.
The share of "living labor" is again the lion's share.
The equipment is created in shorter cycles of self-reproduction.
2. Elimination of "intellectual" property.
"Intellectual" property now is the same brake of prosperity for all, as the monopolization of land and serfdom hampered the development of capitalism.
At the Internet, the author can and must earn - without intermediaries - on the fact of using his developments by all sorts of corporations there - guardians of rusty iron.
The "advisory structure" as a political association of developers will crush any corporation.
The presidential republic is the same form of the Machine Society as the Monarchy - the Resource.
Bell represents the Post-industrial society - from 3 social classes:
1. The Creative Elite & quot; Scientists and higher professional administration;
2. & quot; Mid-range & quot; Engineers, researchers and,
3. "The proletariat of intellectual labor"; - technicians, assistants, laboratory assistants.
- This is a vinaigrette. - Scientists with "intellectual" property and higher professional administration, by social status are the same "Proletariat of intellectual labor". Is that their strikes are more influential.
