But perhaps the most interesting concept is that a Community Partnership constituted as an "Open Corporate" may create the possibility of a "State" which is not distinct from its Members. Individual Citizen Members of a "Community Partnership" may consensually agree to a collective responsibility within the framework of a CP agreement but would not have the individual or "several" responsibility for other members of a traditional Partnership. Alternatively, an Open Corporate is not an organisational form but a framework within which sovereign individuals may collectively and co-operatively "SelfOrganise". The outcome is the potential for a Society which is based neither upon the existence of a State (ie a Hierarchy) nor the absence of a State (ie an Anarchy) but is instead a "Synarchy" - a State consisting of a networked myriad "Partnership of Partnerships" in which all individuals are Members.

I find this interesting, very interesting... But, but, but Replacing the State as an umbrella covering all, by a patchwork of Partnerships, in this do we not risk creating "Unpartnershipped" individuals, who for whatever reason are not seen as capable of delivering (transacting, um, what verbs go with Value now??) "Value" as "Members". Which Partnership will have the Responsibility to ensure the minimum required for a dignified existence for all if not the State, as State of all, not just volunteered and accepted Partnerships? (Those individuals who cannot for one reason or another fulfil obligations of membership in the open corporate structures.) Or, alternatively, what am I misunderstanding?
That being said, I want an LLP now! Just gotta find some other people to partner, and figure out what I'd like this partnership for...
What you would get - eventually - is everything linked to everything else in a true, completely distributed self-organizing system, where power is nowhere but everywhere. No one cell can influence the direction of the whole organisim - the beauty (or ugliness) is the process. You can't be me, I'm taken
It is the generic function of "clearing" that will be the common denominator that brings us all together, that and the new approach to "property" which gradually brings the Land back into "Common" ownership - NOT state ownership.
We need a new and rational approach to taxation = "Commons" rentals that I have set out recently elsewhere on this site in turn leading not to a "Redistributive" model but rather a "Pre-distributive" one.
ie everyone would be entitled to a "citizen's income" as of right, derived in fact from two "pooling mecanisms) one in respect of "Commons Rental" and one in respect of Income.
So I see networked "Community Land Partnerships" as the key building blocks of Society, configured around a generic "transaction engine" and peer to peer "instant monetary messaging" network.
The (consensual) protocol of the CLP would incorporate both revenue-sharing/ tithing and risk sharing through the mutual guarantee of bilateral credit.
No transactional or identity information would be held either by the State or the "Private Sector" but maybe by what is essentially a "Trustee" "Identity Institute". "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
adhering to community standards is morally enforced through 'belonging' and a transparent accountability.
if you don't subscribe, you are 'shunned'.
the only way i see this scaling up, is through pooling the watchdog duties across the web, sich as is happening on dkos, where the fbi learned something from a poster that was used to bust abramoff.
we can do it, we just need to smarten up and be vigilant.
