#communities

Why Erich Mühsam? I think anarchy as a social order is truly conceivable for the first time in human history. Anarchy is not chaos. In ancient thought, when the word originated in Greece, it simply stood for the absence of culture and society. In other words, ultimately, the law of the strongest. It wasn’t until much later, in the 19th century, that there was a genuine scholarly examination of a truly hierarchy-free order. Throughout human history, self-determined #communities have appeared time and again. Thanks to #international networking and the open-source movement, it’s becoming possible to act locally while still scaling internationally. The Federation has impressively demonstrated this. This has never before been possible in human history. Anarchy is the most mature and virtuous of all orders. An order that also makes room for evil. You cannot defeat evil; you must assign it a place. A perspective beyond good and evil. It is no mere coincidence that Aleister Crowley, of all people, summed things up correctly. “There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Love is the law, love under will.” This is not chaos; this is not arbitrariness. This is the great challenge of our time. Neither techno-feudalism nor state socialism is up to the challenge of the future, nor is either even remotely desirable. And capitalism, which for centuries sold itself as “freedom,” is nothing but accumulation, hierarchy, and injustice. So we don’t have much of a choice anyway—let’s give it a try. https://word.undead-network.de/2026/09/29/warum-erich-muehsam/ #anarchy #chaos #society #order #philosophy #politics #future #oss #foss

Oooh, neat -- @Bonfire has officially released its #Communities module: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bonfire-for-communities/ I backed the project, and I'm overjoyed to see it coming to fruition. The world *desperately* needs a good open-source, open-network, open-community alternative to enshittified monstrosities like Facebook, and #Bonfire is the first one I've seen that appears to check pretty much all the boxes of "how to do it right". It's impressively complete. (Might force me to get off my ass and stand up my own server, so I can start hosting some of the communities I'm involved with.) And yes, yes, Discord -- I use it a lot, but it's still corporate, still likely to enshittify, and really only covers a fraction of the Community use cases. This looks better. So check it out -- I think it's an important project, that a lot of groups could probably benefit from...

Il Tempo: Regno Unito, scricchiola il governo. La ministra si dimette e chiede un passo indietro a Starmer: "Andiamo avanti" Dopo la debacle dei labouristi alle recenti elezioni amministrative, scricchiola il governo britannico. La ministra per le Comunità, Miatta Fahnbulleh, ha rassegnato le dimissioni e chiesto al premier Keir Starmer di fare altrettanto. In una lettera condivisa su sulla piattaforma, la ministra si dice orgogliosa di quanto fatto finora pur riconoscendo di non aver "agito con la visione, il ritmo e l'ambizione che il nostro mandato di cambiamento ci impone". Per Fahnbulleh, il paese "si trova ad affrontare sfide enormi e la gnete chiede a gran voce un cambiamento di tale portata" e, rifererendosi a Starmer, ha detto: "L'opinione pubblica non crede che tu possa guidare questo cambiamento, e nemmeno io lo credo. Pertanto, ti esorto a fare ciò che è giusto per il Paese e per il partito e a stabilire un calendario per una transizione ordinata, in modo che una nuova squadra possa realizzare il cambiamento che abbiamo promesso al Paese". Da Downing Street, però, la risposta è no. "Il Partito Laburista ha una procedura per contestare un leader e questa non è stata attivata - dice Starmer - Il Paese si aspetta che continuiamo a governare. Questo è quello che sto facendo e quello che dobbiamo fare come governo". Niente marcia indietro, quindi. Starmer si assume la "responsabilità di questi risultati elettorali e di realizzare il cambiamento promesso". Per innescare la procedura di cambio del leader nel partito, un deputato deve anzitutto comunicare al Comitato esecutivo nazionale la propria intenzione di lanciare la sfida. Dopodiché può iniziare a raccogliere il sostegno formale: per ottenere una competizione elettorale sarebbe necessario ottenere l'appoggio del 20% del gruppo laburista. A quel punto il leader in carica verrebbe automaticamente inserito nella lista dei candidati. L'emittente britannica Sky News spiega che, sebbene 78 deputati abbiano chiesto pubblicamente le dimissioni di Starmer, tali richieste non attivano alcun meccanismo all'interno del partito per dare avvio a una competizione. The UK government is crumbling. The minister resigns and asks Starmer to step down: “Let’s move forward.” Following the Labour Party’s defeat in the recent local elections, the British government is crumbling. Communities Minister Miatta Fahnbulleh has resigned and asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer to do the same. In a letter shared on the platform, the minister says she is proud of what has been achieved so far, while acknowledging that she has not “acted with the vision, the pace and the ambition that our mandate for change demands.” For Fahnbulleh, the country “faces enormous challenges and the public is demanding change of such magnitude” and, referring to Starmer, she said: “Public opinion does not believe you can lead this change, and neither do I. Therefore, I urge you to do what is right for the country and for the party and to establish a timetable for a smooth transition, so that a new team can deliver the change we promised the country.” However, from Downing Street the response is no. “The Labour Party has a process for challenging a leader and this has not been activated - says Starmer - The country expects us to continue governing. That is what I am doing and what we must do as a government.” No backing down, then. Starmer takes responsibility for “these election results and to deliver the promised change.” To trigger the leadership change process within the party, a Member of Parliament must first communicate to the National Executive Committee their intention to challenge. Following this, they can begin to gather formal support: to achieve an electoral contest, 20% of the Labour group would need to back them. At that point, the incumbent leader would automatically be included in the list of candidates. The British broadcaster Sky News explains that, while 78 MPs have publicly asked for Starmer’s resignation, these requests do not activate any mechanism within the party to initiate a competition. #Starmer #theLabourParty’s #British #Communities #MiattaFahnbulleh #KeirStarmer #Fahnbulleh #DowningStreet #TheLabourParty #Parliament #first #Labour #SkyNewshttps://www.iltempo.it/esteri/2026/05/12/news/regno-unito-scricchiola-il-governo-la-ministra-si-dimette-e-chiede-un-passo-indietro-a-starmer-andiamo-avanti--47684676/

while this is #funny he get's the core problem wrong: it's not people, it's the #finance #system of #evil that does not want your #freedom or #independence quiet the opposite, you need to #teamup make #communities and #liberate yourself from #money in any possible way what all #bank #bankers do not understand: without the #productivity of the #worker #money becomes just what it is: paper #usa you can do better than #civilwar #lol #meme #usa #almostcomedy

It is unfortunate that #war and #agendas wait for nobody, especially when you least expect an unrelated issue to effect certain #communities. Of whom I have nothing but #respect for as a whole. I do not believe in #minority or #majority status. I would much rather #status of any kind be filtered by #interest first, by removing a list of unchangeable #priorities and replacing each one with a single common #spectrum of focus where applicable.

as this is post #101 here's a quick reminder... #betheflow = Free, Libre & Open Works. we are #betatesters of lovely #foss goodness! we are #researchers we are #developers we are #enablers In 2024, we formed tec3. #tectres, as a foundational member of @minds@unredacted.social In 2026, we continue to provide #opentech support across many #communities locally & globally. our #platformcooperative model, is established by #tripartite agreement. creating a #trefoil for technological education.

...#protesting is an awesome start, but i think the best silent #protest would be all #communities showing up for each other instead of showing up to work (even instead of showing up in the streets or encamping on the empires lawns) ...imagine, the sudden appearance of ghost towns: no shoppers, no workers, no traffic...instead mass gatherings in unexpected places to share #food, clothing, warmth and to nurture and uplift one another... ..."they" arent going to help us. we MUST help each other.
