The Western threat to Moldova's future - Thomas Fazi

"Tomorrow, October 20, 2024, the Republic of Moldova will hold the first round of its presidential elections. Political forces seeking to preserve the country’s neutrality have complained about the EU’s approach to the war in Ukraine, which has de facto eliminated any distance between the EU and NATO through the bloc’s sanctions policy and the militarisation of its political and economic processes. The population of a constitutionally neutral country is fighting to preserve its sovereignty against part of its own political elite. An analysis by the former Hungarian ambassador to the Republic of Moldova, György Varga.

Originally published in German on NachDenkSeiten.

During the term of office of the current head of state, Maia Sandu, citizens from neighboring Romania have become the absolute majority in the state administration of the Republic of Moldova. According to available sources, the following people have Romanian citizenship:"

Network State: It’s not about a clean slate | Sideways

"Network State: It’s not about a clean slate
Persecution, really.

“We want to be able to peacefully start a new state for the same reason we want a bare plot of earth, a blank sheet of paper, an empty text buffer, a fresh startup, or a clean slate. Because we want to build something new without historical constraint.” says Balaji.

No, we don’t. That is not why we are building Sideways.

This is a response from a group of women we work with regarding to Balaji Srinivasan’s book, The Network State: How to Start a New Country. This article was originally published as part of PricelessDAO, a project that was discontinued and merged into Sideways.

While much of what Balaji shares resonates with us, we have several points of divergence, and this is the first.

We don’t want to build something new, just as the Pilgrims did not board the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria to start something new. They boarded because they were persecuted and given no choice than to cross the treacherous oceans to have any life whatsoever.

We want to start a network state because we are persecuted inside the Westphalian order.

Our men are persecuted for their labor. Our sons taken to fight wars and kill other sons. Our children are brainwashed in schools that see them only as tools to a production system. And as for production, ah. The production of a new human being, the labor of the womb and of childcare, is not seen as production at all. Our governments would wrest from us the control over our children, teach their values to our offspring, and charge us a tax for the right to have our progeny filled with propaganda and molded as tools of the machine."

Ostrom5 | Sideways

"Sideways Ostrom5 (and 6)


Ostrom5 is a mediation, remediation, and reporting organization that makes it easy for anyone in a network of organizations to have their issues addressed. It is designed for organizations within Web3, open source, climate, and social activism groups to resolve issues based on Elinor Ostrom’s principles for governing the commons:

Principle 5. Sanctions for those who abuse the commons should be graduated. 
Principle 6. Conflict resolution should be easily accessible.
For the organizations, joining an Ostrom5 offers them certification that they adhere to their own code of conduct, as well as an easy way to resolve conflicts. 

For individuals, joining an organization that participates in Ostrom5 means that they can be reassured that they have recourse in case of a conflict. "
