Michel Baumens, Mark Pesce & Ellie Rennie help to put this all into the context of both individual & the culture of social life. I love Michel’s important analysis,but disagree on his colonial view of a primitive human past. Colonialism in order to establish hierarchal command & control societies had to denigrate ‘indigenous’ (Latin ‘self-generating’) societies being invaded in order to delegitimacize their laws & customs. Yes whenever colonial ‘exogenous’ (L ‘other-generated’) invasion by ecological-economic refugees from war-torn Europe etc. drove 1st Nations from their permanent homes, destroyed their libraries, records, accounting & rewrote history, only then did a false history record people living insecurely off of marginal mountainous lands. Ethnohistory/anthropology by 1st Nations is the only reliable source now confirmed by ethno-archaeology. All humanity is originally indigenous (not ‘tribal’ a colonial Roman administration region & practice’)
BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE
You will thus be surprised that the properly integrated mixture of capitalism & socialism is a cultural part of indigenous peoples worldwide. All humanity worldwide once used the time-based accounting progressive ownership across one’s lifetime, male & female employing the string-shell within Production-Society/Guilds. Economic Democracy within Multihome-Dwelling-Complexes & PS/G was primary with political (interdisciplinary) democracy as a subset. Indigene Community compiles indigenous interdisciplinary ‘fractal’ ‘economy’ (Greek ‘oikos’ = ‘home’ + ‘namein’ = ‘care-&-nurture’). https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy/8-economic-democracy
While Ethereum is a step in the right direction for open contracts of all sorts, lets not keep on trying to re-invent the same disasters with the same colonial worldview of hidden aggressions, which cause us perpetual & perhaps terminal disorder.
