Richy_T had some good ideas about balancing the budget, cancelling central banks and cutting down on government spending. These are nice, but I'm not sure they're doable. The very structure of the government as an institution prohibits them. Which is why I feel the need for non-governmental alternatives.

To be clear, I agree with you. When you look at the job that lays ahead and the history of the situation, it's a path that inevitably will not be taken. Unfortunately, the alternative is pretty catastrophic collapse with some very nasty consequences.

Unless, perhaps, another way presents itself. A way to detach from the sinking ship. I think that's what you're suggesting.

This is pretty much how I see it. Being an incorrigible optimist, I keep advocating for the peaceful, bottom-up, growing of alternatives. Even though I don't think there is a high probability we will see this. Lacking this path, there seems to be only the inevitable collapse which looms pretty scary.

Monopoly governments are engines for concentrating benefits and distributing costs. They are completely unsuited to do the opposite. Spending does not decrease generally because that amounts to concentrating costs of the budget-cutting on the spending beneficiaries.
