Tribalism in the digital age a collective utopia 1
“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realisation of Utopias. Oscar Wilde

the first commercial machine: Spinning Jenny 5
working conditions : during the peak of industrialisation 6
living conditions for the working class today: gentrification, 7
The environment is even more challenged especially with the rise of production 8
...in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, to fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have in mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic. Karl Marx in The german Ideology 1845/46
Walter Crane Wood cut from Cartoons for the Cause, 1886
the reaction to exploitation is the formation of unioms and the rise of socialism 9
“With the abolition of private property, then, we shall have true, beautiful, healthy Individualism. Nobody will waste his life in accumulating things, and the symbols of things. One will live. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.� Oscar Wilde 1891

It depends on the availibilty, the knowledge how to use, produce and program it. The HK protesters used technological means like telegram to organize the resistance. SZ markets

THF COOPERATIVE is a digital platform enabling citizens & initiatives to initiate projects on THF, market them in order to get project backers and finance them. As soon as the project gets green light it will be assisted by the cooperatives architects and planners
1 projects and concepts are handed in digitally. They are checked by AI for feasibility and compliancy with the game rules. Furthermore they are checked with environmental laws & building codes of the land Berlin.
2 accepted projects are showcased and discussed on the digital platform to get project backers. This process is moderated by city curators.
3 succesful project entries are supported by experts in the planning phase .Public planning spaces are established (in airport building ?) Projects are developed together wit planners and finance experts.
