Shmolitical Distractions

People might ask at this point, without shmolitics, how do we organise and accomplish anything? An organisation is more than a set of rules or procedures; it is the blueprint for how power is harnessed and directed within. Every person who labours for said organisation empowers that structure. This is the skeleton upon which culture and community are supposed to rest. Organisations are the engines of progress, they provide the infrastructure needed to turn ideas into action.

Yet our organisations are reduced to mere bureaucratic machines, stripped of their purpose and driven by profit at any cost for ‘the owners,’ a transient slavemaster class whom always represent the bottomline. When this happens, power becomes an instrument of control rather than creation. The solution lies in reimagining what it means to be organised, not as a hierarchy of command but as a network of collaboration: community.

People complain endlessly about a lack of representation on the national stage, but then pay no heed to the absolution of any local community responsibilities. It’s all about your town, it’s your county, and it’s your business or cooperative. This is how we recapture representation: through responsibilities locally again. Local responsibility transforms most of your ostensible political enemies into a sort of ally, the most important ally dedicated to increasing determination and sustainability.

Imagine a society where every individual is part of an organisation that serves good and where decisions are made with transparency, where resources are protected yet available to those who can do the most good with it, and where innovation is celebrated by the people it matters most to. This is not some utopian fantasy; it is the blueprint for community power that transcends politics, it is Christ’s body: perhaps the biggest loss in Christianity through its ragged and unending denominationalism over matters mortals could never know first-hand.
