Casa Robino

What are the ways we could take over (or abolish) government? Many! In Iceland (see earlier related post) friends initiated a process that might appeal to many: let's bring a randomly chosen 1500 people to debate the main values of society and let's facilite consensus about these values.

Impossible some might think.

Very doable in fact, and applicable to many other localities/ contexts.

Things are kind of rocky in Iceland right now - the video is a nice little Nordic riot about I'm not sure what* . This stream features Icelandic parliament open citizen's meeting live, debating the future of their government.

And just how is this relevant to Casa life? Well, events like the recent Credit Crunch and dealing with the mess all over the place give an unique view on major shifts in society, something to learn from for sure for any idealists passing through here.
