    • A place where I can write down meta/thoughts while I do pomodoros.

      I just got distracted during a pomodoro but caught me in time to still be able to pull something off this round (I think). The first five minutes I planned dinner with my partner (?), essentially forgetting I had set an intention to focus. Then I spent four minutes doing planning for the next few pomodoros, which is productive but not in the spirit of the thing. Now I'll actually do [[the thing]], which in this case is making [[free, fair and alive]] resolve well in [[agora server]].

• an [[algorithm]].
  • [[loop]]
    • [[rest]] think about what you want to do in the next pomodoro or the next few pomodoros, write it down.
      • [[announce]] it if you're doing announcements, but be wary of the risk of announcing: your brain might feel content with having announced and not move on to actually doing it :)
    • [[set a timer]] of the kind you want and reinforce your [[intention]].
      • make a [[commitment]].
      • then [[sit down]] or [[stand]] and [[do]].
      • ([[burn for greater good]])
• as of [[2022-06]] I've been doing more of them. they work, at runtime and for [[planning]].
• doing these on [[2022-08-20]], doing these most days honestly.

      • #q a revolution (Latin: revolutio, "a turn around") is a [[fundamental]] and [[relatively sudden]] change in [[political power]] and political organization which occurs [[when the population revolts against the government]], typically due to perceived [[oppression]] (political, social, economic) or political incompetence.
    • #push [[revolutions]]
    • #pull [[Murray Bookchin]] would likely be my default delegate for matters pertaining to [[revolution]] in a [[liquid democracy]] system.
    • Given that he's dead, when in doubt, I ask [[@neil]] and the [[Agora]] :)
    • My current personal proposal is the [[Flancian Revolution]], which is designed to be constructive and optional and is based on the patterns of [[Federation]], [[Commoning]] and [[Dual Power]].
    • Flancia is meant to be a revolution guided by [[loving kindness]].
      • In Flancia there is no [[poverty]].
      • In Flancia there is no [[homelessness]].
      • In Flancia there is no [[violence]].
      • In [[Flancia]] we will [[meet]]!
    • In Flancia we slayed [[Moloch]], and by that I mean we [[disentangled]] from them.
      • I am a [[Flancian]] and this [[Agora]] contains my [[manifesto]].
    • [[Aristotle]] describes two types of [[political revolution]]:
      • [[Complete change]] from one [[constitution]] to another
      • [[Modification]] of an existing constitution.
  • In Flancia the [[internet]] yielded a thriving [[knowledge commons]] for humanity through the ages.
    • I like to think of [[Flancia]] as the world as it could be, improved through a series of [[peaceful]] revolutions.
    • #push [[Protopoi]] is the [[space]] of composable [[incremental improvements]]; rational and well meaning changes that can be chained or composed for the betterment of the world.
      • We can [[explore]] this space together, and to do so it is that I set out to build an [[Agora]].

• [[Structural]] [[revolution]] model:
  • 1. [[Fiscal]] illiquidity, [[officials]] and [[enforcers]] are not paid.
    2. Intra-[[elite]] conflict between [[state]] officials and those who [[finance]] the state- [[economic]] elite vs [[ruling]] [[officials]].
    3. [[Mass]] [[movement]] of dissidents- a movement claims a [[solution]] to the [[deadlock]] and fills the vacuum. The solution doesn't have to be real- it is often [[ideology]] used as a unifying [[tactic]]. The revolutionaries have to be able to [[attack]] the deadlock and make the State [[solvent]] again.

Revolution

the institutional transformation of society by society

– [[Common: On Revolution in the 21st Century]]

I'm on board for a [[social revolution]] in the 21st century. My revolutionary flavour of choice is [[revolutionary socialism]]. [[Eco-socialism]], specifically, as [[to be a 21st century socialist is to be an eco-socialist]]. I am desiring of a revolution that leads to something akin to an [[ecological civilization]].

How to get from here to there?

revolution never occurs just through the behaviour of a particular group, however big or small. It happens because masses of people, many of whom have never considered the matter before, demand change and put themselves at the centre of political events

– [[Revolution in the 21st century - Chris Harman]]

Strategy: I hope that [[prefiguration]], education, agitation, and organisation ([[educate, agitate, organise]]) may lead us to a [[social tipping point]] that tips us towards harmony. I believe you need both some of the spontaneous network and the party form to make this happen. See [[Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal]]. A bit of both [[Climate Mao]] and [[Climate X]] if you will.

Tactics: With revolution there is the thorny question of violence and struggle. [[When bringing change we must minimise violence]]. I hope the minimum = 0 and that [[direct action]], [[civil disobedience]] and enacting positive alternatives in there here and now can suffice. Probably naive. But unlike in [[To Posterity]], I hope that we who wish to lay the foundations of kindness, can ourselves be kind.

Demands: TBC. see e.g. [[Half-Earth Socialism]], [[ecological civilization]].
