What does Socialism look like to you?

90. Bottom up and long term multigenerational development

- Mostly self sufficient small local horticultural communities based largely on multilayer permaculture gardens (providing food, energy, fibre, medicine, building materials). Lots of political and cultural variety, but mostly commons and social anarchy.

That's the sustainable base line, if nothing else works, and supporting 10 billion is no problem with modest consumption and the horticultural know-how we have. And much else can work from that base line, should the local communities form networks to share resources to create bigger projects, such as "space cities" etc.

Internet etc. could be preserved, hopefully, also by bottom-up approach - local solar panels, small wind mills etc. and local micrigrids in local control that can be combined to larger networks to direct surplus energy to bigger projects if and when needed; recycling current materials instead of mining more and building to last instead to break down.

Not totally unrealistic vision IMHO, and as far I'm called, we can call it communism or socialism or anarchy or ecosystem or what ever.
