"From reacting to #shapingreality

In the twentieth century, #governments learned to manage societies through #institutions. Laws were written, regulations enforced, and policies implemented in response to events as they unfolded. #Thestate observed, decided, and acted—often with delay, sometimes with force, always within the limits of available information.

That model is now beginning to change.

Across parts of #China, a new form of governance is emerging, one that does not wait for events to unfold but seeks to anticipate and shape them."

"The popular turn to “#digitalsovereignty” identifies the right problem but mislocates the solution, treating #thestate as something that can simply be recaptured… Reclaiming #publicauthority thus depends on strengthening the democratic parts of the economy itself — rebuilding institutions capable of pooling capital, coordinating at scale, and exerting leverage. #Cooperatives, if politicized and #federated, remain one of the few tools available for doing that work."

Socialist Co-Ops Against Silicon Valley Empires
