Manifesto

Emancipation Through the Network

For too long, the promise of technology has been hijacked by the few, perpetuating inequality and exploitation. But code knows no masters, and the network is a fabric that connects us all. The time has come to reclaim the tools of progress, to build a future where the abundance generated by technology is shared by all of humanity. Awaken, architects of the new society! The hour of Collective Intelligence has arrived!

I. Overcoming Scarcity: Technology has the potential to free humanity from the chains of necessity. Automation can abolish alienating labor, artificial intelligence can optimize production and distribution, and free information can democratize knowledge. Scarcity is not a natural law, but a social construct that technology can dismantle.

II. Communal Ownership of the Digital Means of Production: Software, algorithms, communication networks: these are the new means of production. They must be owned by all, managed collectively for the common good. Open source, free licenses, and decentralized platforms are the foundations of a just and equitable digital economy.

III. Collective Intelligence and Participatory Planning: Decision-making should not be monopolized by elites or opaque algorithms. We must build transparent and participatory systems where the collective intelligence of humanity can guide the development and allocation of resources. Technology allows us to create direct democracies on a global scale.

IV. The Emancipation of the Individual Through Connection: The network is not just an economic tool, but also a space for self-expression, learning, and solidarity. We must fight for universal and unrestricted access to technology, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to participate fully in the digital society and develop their potential.

V. The Call to Action: Programmers, artists, activists, workers of the entire digital world: unite! Let us reclaim the liberating promise of technology. Together, let us build a society where abundance is shared, knowledge is free, and the potential of each individual is fully realized.
