We can literally design entirely new mechanisms. Redefine money. Local exchange trading systems with local currencies, new monetary systems and elastic mechanisms that are compatible with open governance. Global mutual credit systems. Shift towards bottom-up. Anti-capitalist. Mutualism. The Agora. Now we get to do Elysium instead.
