World is changing. Populism vs Crowd Wisdom

in #populism8 years ago

Tech have improved a whole and there is still road to walk. Tech allow crowd to take colective dessicion talking about everything. Voting tools are avaible but any important decission have been taken yet (well, ethereum SF and HF).
The people who manage the invisible hand of economy have been noticed people now can take control so they need to make moves in the play to keep control. This is for example Donal Trump. They conviced poor people talking like them but saying them what they have to do, not asking what they think.

Establish pro status quo political parties around the world are now taking populism arguments and tricks.

The most interesting country to study is Spain. In Madrid, march 15th 2011 started an assembly european 'revolution' which let people think about how the are governated and noticed they are lossing rights via social cuts vs multinacional record profits.

They evolutioned in a political party called "Podemos" (We can) which they pretend to representate people. The case is he other 3 of 4 biggest parties in spain called them everyday populist but they use populist tecnics to do it.

There is no a consensus about what populism is, but crowd wisdom is not populism. There is plenty options, plenty opinions and is not what people want to listen. Is what people say. Governance based in crowd wisdoms via forums, polls and why not blockchain need to be implemented to improve the system and letting everybody to be free to do what they want. Colective wisdom doesn't mean comunism, is private property taking deccions to improve wealth for everybody.
