To fully understand what "ADSactly" really is, it is important to start by not confusing "collective action" with "collectivism". In this sense, "collective action" is understood as the synergistic work that result of individual collaborative behavior (based on principles of openness, transparency and integrity) and such work is now in progress due to amazing new possibilities to SHARE "Value-of-Use" (thanks to social media platforms) and TRANSACT "Value-of-Exchange" (thanks to blockchain protocol).
Contrary to what happens in "collectivism," the interdependence between individuals who engage in such "collective action" does not result from any central planning as happens in the case of a cooperative (historically this has given bad outcomes, as in the case of the former USSR).
I believe that only a set of actions resulting from consensus of collective intelligence will solve the problem of the economic and moral bankruptcy of many (too many...) basic institutions in which we accustomed ourselves to trust.
In the Adsactly community, collective action emerges when orchestrated not by a maestro but by the peers themselves during their individual endeavors and/or by their collaborative resolution of problems (something like can happen in a Jazz Band, always free and improvised, unlike what happens in a traditional Orchestra...). In fact, a rigid hierarchy ("nomenklatura"), which is a parasitic trend of traditional "collectivism", would limit or even castrate a capacity for innovation that is ever more crucial.
If you want to better understand what the Adsactly community really is, I hope you have an inspired reading by following these links:
Taking into account the significant words of @Adsactly: "Every honest individual with good intentions is invited to join and offer his skills, knowledge or resources. If you found your own thoughts within this words, consider yourself invited! The society's channel is here: ADSactly"
great post! i believe in this kind of thoughts but until now in my opinion was something impossible to implement. but blockchain is something real. so, let's see what we can do!
As an ADSactly Community Manager I can say that this is a valuable contribution, and the links you added are a good way to start going down the rabbit hole in order to learn more about this exciting community.
Thank you for the post, in my name and in the name of the @adsactly.
Cheers

STOPI don't know much about Adsactly, but you've certainly re-sparked my interest. Thanks for the article. Here's to collective action!
