Competition has tore our world apart. Market Capitalism is based off natural selection of competing forces, with monopolistic industries colluding together illegally to artificially set prices while baring teeth behind each others back.
Capitalism's greed based motivation system, and illusion of class ability has fueled an incredible amount of innovation and growth at rapid rates, it has also led to systemic destruction of our ecosystems, consolidation of money and power in the hands of the few, and a culture of consumerism, which manipulates us at every turn
Its obviously time for a shift, but the big question is, what next?
How do we create a culture that reward collaboration instead of competition? That allocates resources towards the most pressing needs and issues on our planet? that redistributes wealth more evenly among the population without a hierarchy dictating the resource flow? Of democratic participation in organizational decision making processes? Of remuneration based on effort and sacrifice?
And thus, we herald in the era of Participatory Economics, and the rise of democratic, values-based, federated co-operatives.
