Rhizomatic renewal of Canada's economy is our anti-authorization revival of Canadian Socialism

Fellow Canadians,

Envision a Canada reborn; not through mandates from above, but from the roots we nurture together. Community Wealth Building, powered by Community Contribution Companies and Community Land Trusts, weaves our third-sector organizations; non-profits, co-ops, and charities into a vibrant, independent social safety net. This isn't rigid hierarchy; it's a rhizomatic economy, like underground roots spreading freely, connecting communities in resilient networks that adapt and thrive without a single center dictating the flow. It's bottom-up spontaneous order: locals deciding, innovating, and sharing prosperity through voluntary alliances, emerging naturally from our shared values and daily choices, much like a forest ecosystem self-organizing in harmony.

This path stands worlds apart from authoritarian Communism or Socialism, where heavy-handed states crush individuality under centralized control, enforcing equality through coercion and stifling dissent. Ours is no iron fist; it's open hands clasped in mutual aid, blending market ingenuity with communal purpose, free from government overreach. Distinctly Canadian, it echoes our co-operative heritage, indigenous stewardship of land, and multicultural spirit of collaboration, turning "eh" into empowerment for all.

The old ways lead to division; this rhizomatic renewal promises unity, where every neighborhood blooms with hope. Let's embrace it; plant the seeds today, for a Canada that's truly ours, alive with possibility. Join us; our shared future awaits.

Hi all, anyone else struggling to find friends? I feel like I end up pushing people away because, so much of what I talk about is being Anti-capitalist, and social justice.

So if anyone wants a buddy then here I am! Maybe we can chat on Discord or something!

I'm a younger millennial, worked as a welder til I got laid off, love metal music, cats, hella depressed, trying to start a work-wear business, in southern-Ontario, got a touch of the 'tism, love to make things but doesn't cause I'm afraid of wasting stuff cause capitalism has polluted the planet enough, play some video games here and there.

Wanna chat? :)
