The Self-Improvement Lie
While there is *obvious value in being self directed and having personal goals, for anyone who has ever struggled in this current system knows that essentially in order to get out if any struggle, we must rely on others. In other words - to be our best selves we must depend on others.
Literally all of science and anthropology has proven that we are a communal species - at no point in human history have we *ever been some lone wolf organism.

Men often historically require an inititiattion into manhood, to seperate from the "mother" archetype into men. which likely explains why our patriarchal dominant society favours capitalism and individualist libertarianism (in contrast to anarchist DIY ethos of self empowerment to better the community)

Participatory Economy Project
A Participatory Economy is a model for a new democratic, fair and green economic system developed as a viable alternative to capitalism. It provides a concrete description of how a modern economy of millions of people can be organised around cooperation and solidarity instead of competition and greed.
A Participatory Economy is made up of:
1. Social Ownership of our productive commons
2. Federations of self-managed worker and neighbourhood councils
3. Participatory planning, where these councils participate in a decentralised cooperative procedure to plan the allocation of resources in the economy.
