Economic & Institutional Innovation - Innovations in contract law, property law, and financial markets have historically provided significant economic benefits after maturation [2] - Trust-minimized institutions at a global scale, leveraging blockchains, smart contracts, and AI, are expected to further improve global economies [2] Societal & Political Concerns - Over-emphasis on large scales in politics and economics, particularly remote trust-based institutions like governments and global corporations, has contributed to cultural issues [3] - The focus on GDP and economic productivity should be balanced with attention to smaller social scales, such as family, friends, and local communities [5] Community & Cultural Preservation - There is a need to reduce reliance on trust in strangers by refocusing political and cultural attention on smaller social scales [4] - Prioritization should be given to forming, growing, and protecting families and communities with long-standing shared understandings and traditions [6] - Long-standing religions and non-commercial traditions should be protected from disruptions caused by corporations, remote governments, and globalization [6]

Core Argument - The document critiques both corporatism and large-scale socialism, viewing them as detrimental to cultural well-being [1][3][5][6] - It advocates for a shift in focus from large-scale institutions (corporations, governments) to smaller social scales (families, local communities) [4][5][6] - The document emphasizes the importance of protecting long-standing traditions, religions, and communities from disruptions caused by globalization and large institutions [6] Proposed Solutions - Promote trust-minimized institutions at a global scale, leveraging technologies like blockchains, smart contracts, and AI to improve global economies [2] - Reduce reliance on trust in strangers by refocusing attention on smaller social scales [4] - Prioritize the formation, growth, and protection of families and communities with shared understandings and traditions [6] Economic Considerations - The document suggests de-emphasizing GDP and economic productivity as primary goals, instead prioritizing the protection of smaller-scale institutions [5] - It calls for economic institutions to safeguard more important aspects of life and culture at smaller social scales [5]

In both there’s no private property, everything is collective and under total ownership by a repressive state. Russia was unusually bad as serfdom went, with High Medieval Western Europe being way better than either.What the Socialist says wh ...
