So, in contemplating my own vision of a #SolarPunk community, there are some *jobs* that imho are crucial to running any type of close-knit community /society...

1. People trained in #FirstAid / #MedicalArts -- for both humans and non-humans
2. #Plumbers
3. #Carpenters
4. #Masons
5. #Blacksmiths / #Metalworkers
6. #Architects / #Planners
7. #Foresters / #Foragers
8. #Gardeners / #Farmers / #FoodProducers
9. #Menders / #Cobblers / #Clothiers / #Seamsters / #Tailors
10. #Chemists / #Alchemists
11. #Herbalists / #Compounders
12. #CitizenScientists / #Observers
13. #Potters / #Ceramics experts
14. #Computer / #Technology fixers (especially #electrical and #solar)
15. #Mothers / #Caregivers
16. #Teachers / #Librarians
17. #Cooks
18. #Cleaners
19. #Weavers / #Spinners / #FiberArtists

So, uncomfortable subject but, what about leaders and rule enforcers? The anarchist in me would like to think that we could do without either, but the realist in me (who has studied human nature and psychology) has my doubts. What form of governance if any? Councils with finite terms? What about rules and safety? Or situations where it is one person's word against another's? Just some things to think about as we contemplate the type of society we want and need!

@DoomsdaysCW each community would discuss/decide/create a form of governance, managing shared spaces and resources, that works their community, with options to change as appropriate. Some might follow a Zapatista Communities model. Some might go for Social Ecology, municipalism approach. Some might do a familiar form of democracy but direct, hyper local. Depends so much on the skills and experiences of the members of each community.
