You seem to wish for an alternative centralised replacement for the existing corrupted centralised establishment we have today - mega-centralisation doesn't work - it always gets corrupted to a final point of failure - history is ripe with examples and not one has succeeded because human nature is constant and the outcome is predictable.

My answer is 'localised communities' which will emerge naturally from the shipwreck that is our global financial system as it inevitably fails in the coming years. The WEF proposed elite replacement is going ahead anyway and cannot be resisted - the forces against the 99% are too great. In fact it's what the oligarchs crave - an opportunity to finally crush the plebs into slavery. I wrote about this recently:

My book, 'The financial Jigsaw Part 1' describes the global financial system and explains how and why it is collapsing which is becoming common knowledge as events dictate. I am writing Part 2 now and publishing relevant sections as I go - a la Charles Dickens. https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w

My solution is to side-step the WEF by opting out because their weak link in the chain is their need for compliance - and we don't have any requirement to comply - we can create our own off-grid local communities and cooperate within a network as far and wide as transport and communications allow. This paradigm conforms to the requirements of a sustainable complex adaptive system which is of course the nature of our current global economy.

There are many options for the design of local economies which will no doubt be experimented with as our present systems decline. I am proposing the African option of UBUNTU described here: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/progressing-plan-b-a-quarterly-review?s=w

Our local community here in a village deep in rural SW England is already set up and thriving - we have no need for 'money' as such but of course we will have local exchange systems based on promissory notes and bills of exchange as our centralised cash systems are withdrawn in favour of CBDCs. This book explains how it worked in 1754 before local banks were created:

As with Part - Part 2 is my gift to my children, my last legacy, as they have already had whatever material inheritance was in my power - I am 78 next month. I am reminded of the wisdom of these words:

"Nations can succumb to pride and a wrong view of wealth​—and so can individuals. Jesus gave a parable that showed how subtle this snare can be. He spoke of a rich man whose fields produced very well. Delighted, the man planned to build larger storehouses for his produce and happily looked forward to a long life of comfort. But this did not happen. God said to him: “Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your soul from you. Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?” Yes, the man died, and his wealth availed him nothing.​—Luke 12:16-20."

Maybe this song will make you feel better...maybe not.

At the end of the day, folks will get together or they won't.

I think they will, but that is just one opinion.

It is my opinion.
