> Well Swiss have this enshrined even in laws, ie you can't ever buy a gun if you are from: Albania, Algeria, Sri Lanka, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Turkey. Literally this list of countries is in the laws. Wow, using such a list is pretty serious systemic discrimination in my eyes. 100% agree it's about money. I'd also add that it's about the money system itself, and the hoarding of 'Intellectual Property' (monopoly granted on technologies, creating artificial scarcity) by Western EU economies (together with the US) leading to a lack of full technology transfers, and limiting access to our rich shared inheritance. This method becomes a way for Western corproations to commodotize ideas and systems, and monopolize, leading to the slow technocratic takeover of the world that is currently going on: "How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions', seen today as necessary for economic development. Adopting a historical approach, Dr Chang finds that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing counties from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used" [1] Instead we'll need to focus on creating a rich P2P commons of distributed tech. Protocol Cooperativism, mutual credit accounting using asset backed currencies - built using frameworks and systems like Ceptr and Holochain.
