Neoliberal capitalism suffocates the capacity to even imagine alternatives.

So when one that is both desirable and clearly articulated pops up, it is important to pay attention.

Library Socialism is a beautiful idea.

And we could just choose to do it. No magic tech, no hero needed to save us.

What if we ran the economy?

I've been toying with the idea of some sort of Solarpunk/Library Socialism Movement in St. Louis for a while. I do not feel like any current organization deals with the specific issues I'm concerned with in a comprehensive, local way.

As a result, I have a vision I've been toying with that I feel ready to share: https://nextcloud.nullarch.com/s/qkkisXnC5iw2EAX

I'm very open to feedback or interest in this idea/project.

@drewthewho just published a video: How Library Economies Work
It is a thought-provoking and desire-stimulating exploration of a society replacing the market-logic with the logic of the library.

Det er så utrolig viktig at vi begynner å dele mer på flere typer ting, så jeg sendte en melding til biblioteket. Kanskje ikke akkurat denne tingen er den aller viktigste, men alle monner drar, og kanskje meldingen kan få dem til å tenke litt mer på flere typer ting de kan ha inne til deling?

Migrating back here from my previous, now-defunct, account @nix@social.stlouist.com. if you know me please boost so I can reconnect with followers.

This is a good time for an #introduction I suppose.

I'm an #educator from #stl that firmly believes in decentralized self organization, such as #anarchism, #socialecology, #solarpunk, or #librarysocialism.

Also I'm a big #urbanism and #foss nerd and #ebike commuter. I'm very involved in the local #freestore and trying to help organize larger #postcapitalist ventures.

Really enjoyed the latest #podcast from @srslywrong with a Q&A and practical steps towards building a #LibrarySocialism society.

Great insights and inspiring ideas to get to action in your community today! #SocialEcology #prefiguration
