Digital shocks, resilience and transition

A

structure note

…

• Resilience is the capacity of a system to survive crises, disruptions, shocks, and attacks.
• Resilience is not necessarily a good thing.
• For example, sadly capitalism is a very resilient system.
• Capitalism is a complex adaptive system
• Resilient in itself, that is. Not resilient of its environment.
• Resilience determines whether shocks lead to restoration of the old system or to systemic transition.
• We need resilient digital democracy, sure, but we also need to break down the resilience of digital capitalism first.
• The left needs a shock doctrine to undermine the resilience of capitalism and to support a shift
• The left should use moments of chaos to achieve emancipation
• Though resilient, Capitalism is prone to crisis.
• Leverage points are…
• A shock doctrine is…
• A shock doctrine for the left is…
• A digital shock doctrine for the left is…
• Some shocks:
  • AI, Win 10, memory crisis
• What is and how do we achieve a resilient digital democracy?
• The Shock Doctrine of the Left
