NEW YEAR’S 2018 RESOLUTION and BUZZWORD:
DECENTRALIZATION: a new paradigm
Decentralization is a concept which should appeal to the most Conservative of Libertarians and the most Liberal of Anarchists.
Decentralization exists in the motto of the Founding Fathers of the United States, E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One.
Decentralization is the difference between a Democracy and a Dictatorship.
Decentralization is the difference between a free market economy and a monopoly.
Decentralization is not Communism, nor is it Libertarianism - Decentralization is neither anarchy nor the rejection of authority or hierarchy.
Decentralization is the calculated disassembly of any and all central authorities or hierarchies in order to foster greater competition and choice.
Decentralization is capitalism in its purest form. The enemy can be recognized in its desire to stifle decentralization.
Decentralization does not require trust in a central authority. Decentralization requires transparency and alternatives.
Decentralization is the freedom to express distaste with a system or ideology by beginning your own. Decentralization is the ability to choose between many systems and ideologies.
Decentralization is the difference between solar panels on each building in a state vs a few coal plants. Decentralization is the ability to choose to be off grid vs government requirements to be connected.
Decentralization is the difference between local farmers' markets and avocados shipped 5,000 miles by an inefficient container ship.
Decentralization is the difference between locally owned and run ISPs and Comcast.
The centralization of authority, wealth, and ideology has brought us to the present.
It is time for a new paradigm.
