Building Campfires

A Community could invest in its common endurance and resilience by building a Community Wealth Fund that pays a basic income to its members. This could be financed through a combination of redistribution and wealth building. Any Community is built up of people who are learning, people who are doing care work, people who are doing work that gets paid, and people who need support. They all contribute in different ways. The hard part is finding the common ground that pulls the community together. The campfire that provides enough light for people to see themselves in the others. The vehicle is then easy. Collect money, distribute some, invest some. If you (you now being a community) spend less than you earn, you can build Capital that can create a solid foundation. Where you are not alone. Where you are more than you. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”.
