Hi John, http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/

Also - here is an immediate question for review. We are proposing a community model which transcends belligerence via introducing local production as a ubiquitous option. Do warmongers dispute its validity? Please comment on this - if our social model is to be replicable - we need to address HOW we provide peace without standing armies. Here's my conclusion - what are the holes in my argument? This question needs a rigorous response if I want our paradigm to succeed. How would you position the response to the argument that 'humans will always kill each other and a Resilient Community will be prey to outside belligerence'? I think productivity is stronger than arms.

Please read my answer below. I am taking this to the TED Collaboratorium for discussion as part of my business plan. I have an assumption that 'things will be beautiful once barriers to material security are annihilated.' I need to be able to defend 2 points: 1. We will annihilate barriers to material security of the general population; 2. Once these are annihilated, the pressure towards resource conflicts will be reduced drastically.

Thanks,
Marcin

Autonomous Communities and Security

It appears that one major preoccupation of humanity is protectionism – such as evidenced by large standing armies. This needs to be questioned, as alternative negotiation of security issues is desired over the standing army – if our goal is to build peaceful, productive communities.

One typical critique is that peace will never happen - as humans are subhuman - and human relationships easily degenerate into armed conflict,whether in adults, or in children as in The Lord of the Flies. Is thare an alternative?

We are proposing material security – combined with the re-weaving of the community fabric via relocalization - as the ultimate solution to the global security issue. Has any solution more robust ever been proposed as a sound theory or practice?

If a community is able to produce all of its essential needs for thriving, then by design – the tendency towards resource conflicts is mitigated. An autonomous person – and only an autonomous person – is able to negotiated with others in a healthy way. The same applies to communities.
