One thing I was thinking recently after seeing a traditional Japanese
craftsman making beautiful fountain pens from scratch was that I realized
the value of small scale businesses of all sorts, people making things or
making foods or performing services. Then I thought about how, under the
right circumstances, communalism and collectivism need to continue to exist
as valued survival tools for humanity, but that those who promote them need
to focus more on the people who need it and how they, with the skills they
possess, can make use of it, preemptively, i.e. now rather than later or
pie in the sky. Money rises to the top of the economic heirarchy like fat
on the surface of the brew in the cauldron on the fire. If people don't
take control of their lives they will face new difficulties surviving and
become dependent not on their own skills but on welfare.
In other words support your local economy, the kind that is independent and
sustained by the people who need it and who make it work. It is not
difficult to see how this can work. It is obvious that what I am proposing
is not "taking back the wealth" but creating your own from scratch from
work you do alone or with others, generating wealth for yourself and for
those others who do the same, within the system they have created to ensure
their survival.
