Great article. I’m with you on tearing down the bureaucracy wholesale. I also think we need a program of radical self-reliance. We have been caught up in trading independence for comfort. We willingly attached ourselves to centralized grids which ended up controlling us. We need new technologies that emphasize individual freedom, utilize only local resources, and human-scale manufacturing processes. If the grid is only valuable when individuals *choose* to inject some of their own resources into it, the maintainers of the grid aren’t in control anymore. The new republic should measure every proposal based on whether it increases individual independence or not.
