Humanity is in an existential crisisi. While capitalism is enabling the elite to accumulate capitalii whilst knowing the risk of civilizational collapse, many organizations are fighting to avoid mass extinction. Environmental, indigenous, human rights, and labour groups are chipping away at the hegemony of capitalism, slowly but surelyiii. However, capitalism appears unbreakable. This is exemplified by the erosion of democracy around the worldiv, even in so-called representative democracies. So, what is to be done? How can all the many groups that fight in the struggle for a better life, actually get results, and change the system? The Twenty Theses for Liberationv are the narrative backbone for a material transformation of society away from capitalism. A complementary framework of policies, sourced from people around the world can spark the much-needed revolution.
What is a CSGPC?
A Crowd-Sourced Global Policy Cloud (CSGPC) is a way for the whole of humanity to express what they want their societies to really look like. In the first instance, the CSGPC will be a website, much like any social media platforms are essentially websites with gigantic universes behind them. The CSGPC seeks to inspire a vast number of humans and organizations from around the world. It is a multilingual and democratic virtual platform that showcases a vast collection of popular anti-capitalist demands and policy proposals. Demands that could lay the foundation of a coordinated massive Global Strike against power structures that maintain the hegemony of capital accumulationvi. The Global Strike would be harmonized around the top policies that the CSGPC would have collected from a large number of contributors.
Visitors to the site would be invited to reflect on three questions: What needs to happen for your own life to get better? What needs to happen for your community to get better? What needs to happen for the whole world to get better?
