Sarantaporo

Sarantaporo and surrounding villages in northern Greece are demonstrating what is possible, when local communities work together in the collaborative commons.

It demonstrates a way forward for all of Greece, following the disgraceful surrender to the EU by Syriza.

Syriza have shown, cannot trust or rely upon politicians, people have to take matters into their own hands, organise their own affairs.

Building Communities of Commons is a crowdfunded documentary to raise wider awareness.

A Post-Capitalism future, open coops, collaborating in the open commons.

What next?

Local renewables feeding into a community owned and controlled local grid, surplus generation fed to other local grids, any profit ploughed back into the local grid or used to fund local community projects.

Flatpack Democracy revolution, local citizens controlling the local town hall, networking with other citizen-controlled town halls.

Local currencies.
