Raise the Hammer

You cannot fight what years of complacency and passive consent have built. You can only circumvent it. We need to fight the system by not becoming the system. We need to de-institutionalize and decentralize our economy. All institutions, no matter how well intended or good natured, are ultimately out to serve itself. Meaning self preservation and the need for the institution are fundamental over any other issue. We need to master collaboration and loosely tied alliances focused on goals not agendas. We need masses of such collaborations that work together in and for their communities, while contributing to the great whole. This will come when business reaches its next evolution, not to profit and exploit, but to prosper and create.

We are living in a time when the weight of the mighty Industrial Revolution Behemoth is about to surrender to the physics of gravity, suffocating itself in its own short-term bulk. When this happens, we can either role over and take the ‘depression’ that will come until someone else comes along and breeds another beast in a few decades, or we can begin to learn now how to take our economy into our own hands. We have accepted the system that is as the only way, we reassure ourselves we live in a democracy. We kid ourselves into thinking that the problem we face with poverty, crime, social injustice and swindling are just in our city, when in fact all cities in the entire world face the exact same problems. We have allowed ourselves to become disconnected from one another and from humanities most useful tool; Economy. Our current system is broken; every city is facing the same problems, because every city is designed with the same social, political and economic flaws. That shall be our GREATEST strength; If all cities are designed the same way, all designed to filter wealth up and keep people down, we need only begin taking our destinies into our hands. We need only begin learning, collaborating and sharing our successes and failures. When one group figures something out, it will cascade to others. We shall turn the broken cities imposed on us, against the very institutions they were designed to serve…

Individuals taking and making a living out of their passions is the key. Small business will lead us out of this...
