I've experienced it. Loved it. Good infrastructure also helps, we have communal services that clear the roads and bicycle paths and salt it. For walking I just use boots with good profile; if there's ice, I use the ones with spikes.
I'd prefer abolition of the system entirely that makes this possible. If we just tax the rich, they will be able to reinstate the system however long it takes.
Make it as unattractive for them as possible to even consider working against society's wellbeing. That must mean social ownership of the entire economy, in the hands of all through mutual aid, give-it-forward, communes, and trade unions.
You could do it even faster, just assemble 6 guillotines. Then you could execute 72 per hour instead of 12. You'd then be done in 8 hours and 20 minutes.
They see money as a method of prestige. So maybe they need to be shifted by prestige.
If for example you got points for each time you helped the community, and can buy more with that, that'd be one. Having a lot of resources is hoarding and you then cannot buy anything with it. Asking for a lot of resources is also hoarding, unless if these resources do not go to your portfolio or that of friends, but instead directly towards benefiting the community as a whole.
And no one can own resources that give them more power to exert violence, than another, and giving away/destroying those resources instead will give you goodwill to gain other resources, once you've also given other resources.
If Musk can spy on everyone, why shouldn't we be able to spy on him?
1 million a year is ridiculous, you can already accumulate wealth if you have that much. And that defeats it already. What you want is an equitable society, in where social ownership is the norm. Credit unions, time banks, for example.
I think it's much more sane to have a max of what ordinary salaries in worker-owned co-ops top out at. A manager at for example Mondragon, a federation of worker-owned co-ops, may earn no more than five times the minimum of their own workers.
Assuming you'd need €40,000 a year in the poorest US states as a living wage, that yields €200,000 a year there.
The issue with money is also, it can be accumulable, and inherently fosters inequality. Time banks might be an alternative, but they ultimately rend into wage labour by a different name. An idea might be a form of decentralised Community Exchange System, which is essentially a mutual aid system that fosters to give-it-forward (and thus to share).
Very late but curious. How difficult is it for someone who genuinely never has used Linux before, to go those leaps? Someone who's not braindead à la "grandma doesn't know what the red X button is or does", but just a basic user "I've heard of a terminal and you can do commands with it but idk, I use maps and files...".
I basically just try out some makeup as I go. I don't really read guides, I just experiment.
So far I like just using foundation, lip stift, and mascara. That's it. On very special days, maybe also nail polish (they take forever to dry and when i scratch my hair, they irritate it and make it stickier).
Hmm, I've not experienced misogny so far but that might be because I have a nice long list of keywords that I block. So any posts or communities with those are a-gone. In addition, I'd recommend to make an account on Blåhaj zone (either Lemmy or Piefed is good really), as it has a strong policy against misogny and queerphobia.
In case anyone's curious, here's a non-exhaustive list with reasons included. Will add a 'Done' below this line when I'm finished.
