#smartcity instead of #democraty, #digitalcentralbank #money as a smart #rationing card, #socialengineering, #paternalism, #social mega machine, and #socialbonds instead of #behaviouralmanipulation from above (article pointed by a coworker)
"Currently, many regions and municipalities in #Europe are testing social credit systems. [...] Rome, Vienna, Bologna and Bavaria." [...] when people are coerced into funding #government subsidies for the #automobile industry or (conventional) #agriculture, but at the same time can get social credit bonuses from the government if they give up cars or car travel and buy organic food."
"There is an alternative. But it is unattractive to technocratic rulers. It consists of strengthening social ties, even at the expense of the free but anonymous market. One could think of associations, trade unions, works councils, cooperatives, social organisations, which are not only allowed but also have important tasks, from representing the interests of workers to providing housing, social security and health care. But promoting and empowering such #socialbonds runs diametrically counter to the interest of technocratic rulers, who do not like opposition and discussion about their chosen goals."
