You just described basic anarchism <3 though it may only work if currency is abolished

I can recommend the book Daemon which explores that Idea

If everything is completely decentralized then it essentially means that each person is providing for themselves… including basic services like water and waste processing. Centralizing these things makes sense, they’re more efficient when operated at scale, and there are significant benefits to task specialization. And frankly, you don’t want decentralized medical care - you want big, modern, well-funded hospitals with the latest technology, which means centralized locations and management.

Decentralizing services doesn’t make sense. Individual residence solar panels are substantially less productive than large-scale solar plants. Services like energy, water, medicine and waste handling should be concentrated and publicly funded - but then that means you need to collect public funds and then decide how to use them, and that means government. The larger the public project is that you want to build, the larger the government around it has to be.

You are making good points, but I’d say there is a point in “size” which no longer a centralised entity makes sense, and it must be divided in order to provide better, independent service.

Everything has a critical size. It would be terrible if there was a “hospital” city for an entire country instead of a hospital per X amount of citizens.

Or it would be terrible to power the entire world from a single power plant, for many absurd reasons.

You’re assuming parts of decentralized entities can’t cooperate.

My personal wet dream would be the street you live on making the decisions for that street like building a traffic light, the block making decisions about say, the plumbing.

everyone voting in a direct manner every week or month via app. Our representative democracy has been corrupted a long time ago so it is time to change that.

How would financing these projects work? Would taxation be on a street level, too? Are you willing to pay for everything that your street needs? A new traffic light or fixing pitholes sounds cheap, but it does get expensive as you scale up. I had to replace four 5x5-foot squares of sidewalk in front of my house a few years ago, and it cost me $5k. Imagine how much it would cost to re-pave a road for an entire block.

Voting purely for your own self-interest is also a double-edged sword. How sure are you that your neighbors will vote to pay for fixing a ruptured pipe that is next to your house if it doesn’t impact theirs? I once lived in a condo that had a leaky roof over my apartment alone, and the remaining 20+ units kept voting against paying to fix it literally for years. That’s one building. You mtiply that by a.few hundred buildings on a given street, and absolutely nothing will get done, ever.

You’ve just described an HOA.

You just described real life.

xelar OP ,

I mean in smaller scale than countries.

echinop ,

Anarcho-syndicalism?

@xelar i do not think that decentralization of everything — is a real life scenario...
