Slum Coltoure Vs Capitalism Vs Communism

 

 

Makoko has one problem less than the Favelas of Brazil. No Drug routes. As in all Slums they do have cash flow, but no savings. There is no hunger, there is security and community. Everyone may and does own and everyone helps another. This area holds humans, because they live with each other.

Makoko apparently has no crime. The Favelas only know Drug Gang crimes. This is not because there is nothing to steal, but that next to accumulating wealth and sharing all another way of life exists, based on collaboration and active group dynamics with a full lack of central leadership. These Slums are the human version of swarm intelligence urbanified.

Slums in India and Oceania are already economic powerhouses that are important parts of the overall economy hosting the peaks of Manufactures, organized, structured Workshops that can well compete with machinised factories and even digitalized assembly line factories. 

While those are about to jump into digitalisation, if cheap, reliable and flexible SBC and outdated hardware connected to the Open Source Community Universe of IT, is either produced by them directly or pushed into those areas, African slums need to jump onto those levels Asian Slums are at currently. 

Cashflow is the most important base for that. Cash flow means that money is fulfilling its real purpose and strides through the community. Paying is the simpliest, quickest and most flexible way of sharing and its initial very purpose. 

If only Cashflow is given it means that larger investments are difficult, having no savings, no vault and need to be done by many creating a common wallet. That is how these houses have been financed. In these areas money is spend, not saved, but despite the need of creating savings to be able to spend larger sums for machines, infrastructure, vehicles or tools of all kind.

 

Actually, enabling them is easy. I would right now, as I type, invest several hundred thousand Euros or Dollars exactly there. Spontaneously, having to check locally,  I would build two places, both offering banking services. One at a "highway" right within and one at the coast line made from partially submerged shipping container constructions. They would harbour another school, library, internet cafe, market place and fully equipped workshops for mechanical repairs and constructions based on Assembly Line fully digitalized Asian Slums. 
The coast line one would be dedicated to buy used items and sell Makoko produced items, beside serving as a parking lot for all that is not amphibic.

 

Just like the Fugger would do ... who might be attacked these days despite known facts and logic as founders of modern Capitalism:  In 1521, Jakob Fugger established the Fuggerei in Augsburg, the world’s oldest social housing, having lived that ability creates duty and privileges tyranny meaning that freedom and prosperity can be only based on duty of the capable, but privileges will create poverty and tyranny.

It does not say anymore that they gave long term workers housing being bought by their rent and helped all their relatives to establish own business with the help of Jewish bankers... against all today's need of ever Anti-Semitism and a Europa of only Hate, instead of a Europa prospering based on with another. E pluribus Unum, One for All All for One, Liberte Egalite Fraternite, all Great things that can be put into simple words Vs ... 

 

So who enjoys having Duty like a U.S. Soldier and who insists on Privilege like a Tyrant?
