1/ Beyond code lies the secret to powerful P2P collectives: emotional infrastructure. Dive into how care, empathy, and honest communication fuel distributed cooperation. #P2P #EmotionalInfrastructure …stcapitalistassemblages.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/bey…
2/ Years of research show that activist collectives and open-source projects succeed not just through tech, but by cultivating deep, human connections. It’s about supporting and uplifting one another. #CollectivePower
3/ In a world where work is increasingly disembodied, we often reduce people to mere resources. But real resilience comes from caring for each other — creating spaces for empathy, honest dialogue, and support. #HumanFirst
4/ Automation and AI push for technical solutions, yet they miss the essence: humans aren’t machines. We experience joy, fear, and passion. DisCOs embrace care work as a core principle to counter alienation. #TechForGood
5/ When DisCOs prioritize emotional well-being, they create environments where team members thrive — boosting both productivity and resilience. Imagine tracking time to see where extra care is needed. #WellBeing
6/ Contrast this with “grand architects” who centralize power. Hierarchical systems and automated control can stifle the creative energy that drives genuine collective progress. #Decentralize
7/ The vision for DisCOs is clear: build convivial tools from the bottom up, guided by cooperative values and principles that put humans at the center of every decision. #PostCapitalist
8/ Key principles include:
• Active creation of commons through open practices
• Transparent reimagining of value focused on environmental justice
• Rebalancing power for true equity
These are the building blocks for a better future. #CooperativeValues
9/ In the end, if the DisCO community keeps its focus on what matters — people — we will find our place among the thinkers and doers who shape tomorrow. Listen to the wisdom of the multitude. #FutureOfWork

How does privatization and architecture challenge social movements? Dive into the concept of "Haussmannization" – where urban design is used not only to improve but to control and suppress collective action. #UrbanControl

In @danhancox's view, history shows that crowds have the power to transform society — but those in power often disperse, defame, and control them. This tension is at the heart of our modern struggles. #CollectiveAction

Haussmann’s redesign of Paris wasn’t just about wide boulevards and better sanitation. It was a strategic move to dismantle medieval neighborhoods, making it easier for the state to monitor and control uprisings. #ArchitectsOfControl

In the 21st century, we face interlocking crises — climate change, inequality, political polarization, pandemics. Traditional solutions are failing, leaving us desperate for a new kind of security. #CrisisEra

Enter the DisCO model: a postcapitalist assemblage that champions cooperation, commons-orientation, and distributed governance. It’s about creating safety and stability through collective ethics. #PostCapitalism

DisCOs challenge the old power structures. Instead of relying on overwhelmed institutions, they empower individuals to build meaningful communities that prioritize care over profit. #CommunityOverProfit

Are crowds simply chaotic mobs or can they unlock profound collective intelligence? Let’s dive into how DisCO governance transforms mob mentality into a force for social change. #CollectiveIntelligence

In “Beyond Le Bon,” we challenge our long-held views shaped by Gustave Le Bon’s idea of the irrational, violent crowd. It’s time to rethink the way we see collectives. #CrowdPsychology

Dan Hancox’s work reminds us that crowds have fueled both chaos and transformation throughout history. The tension between irrationality and collective action is real — and it matters. #SocialTransformation

Ever wondered about the true power of coming together — both in the streets and online? "The Right to Assemblage" challenges how digital commons and DisCOs (Distributed Cooperative Organizations) can reshape our future. #DigitalCommons …stcapitalistassemblages.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/the…
Crowds, raves, revolutions: physical gatherings have long been the heartbeat of change. Yet, as governments clamp down and public spaces shrink, our right to assemble is under siege. #RightToAssemble
But what about the digital realm? In an era of constant connectivity, online communities offer safe havens — a new kind of public square where collective power can flourish. #DigitalAssembly
Ever wondered how our cities become battlegrounds between control and community? Urban spaces are more than just concrete jungles — they’re contested territories shaped by power struggles. #UrbanCommons …stcapitalistassemblages.wordpress.com/2025/03/11/ter…
Dan Hancox reminds us that urban design isn’t neutral. The city is a dynamic arena where social, political, and economic forces fight to leave their mark.
Think about it: when we call urban crowds “bad,” aren’t we just accepting the narrative imposed by elites who want to control community building?
