If we can strip th To make governments irrelevant, it's necessary to build an alternative system outside of the existing one—starting with a parallel economy, since the economy is what primarily sustains governments. If people stop allowing them to take their money and succeed in making government decisions meaningless in their lives, it would gradually choke the system and render it powerless. +![](parallel.png) + To achieve this, people need to live without paying taxes. You must be compensated for your work in a currency that is not controlled by states. For example, [Monero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monero) (XMR) is a cryptocurrency that operates independently of any government control and ensures that your transactions are untraceable. In addition, creating small, self-sustaining communities independent of government control could help promote shared values such as sustainability, self-reliance, and decentralized governance. These communities could establish education systems that operate outside of traditional, government-controlled institutions. This could involve community-based learning, unschooling, and homeschooling models.

Access to information should not depend on government decisions, which is why such communities must find ways to sustain basic needs outside of the current system—where food, water, electricity, and medicine are often controlled by governments that profit from them. The following [article](https://techbullion.com/independent-media-and-the-rise-of-alternative-news-platforms/) covers how independent medias are starting to rise. +![](screenmedia.png) + Developing collaborative, peer-to-peer networks for sharing resources, services, aid, and knowledge—bypassing traditional hierarchical structures—would significantly reduce the power of the state. Renewable energy projects, led by independent thinkers outside the current system, would help these communities become entirely self-sufficient. Encouraging individuals and communities to become energy-independent by using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power would lessen reliance on national grids and energy companies, which are often controlled by both governments and corporations. @@ -94,5 +100,5 @@ Perhaps one of the most important aspects of building independent communities is If you want additional information about social contract, please refer to this [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract) page that explains everything about it. - +As you can see, fighting governments diff --git a/protestingisnotenough/parallel.png b/protestingisnotenough/parallel.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b3b4890 Binary files /dev/null and b/protestingisnotenough/parallel.png differ diff --git a/protestingisnotenough/screencomunities.png b/protestingisnotenough/screencomunities.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e94f1a2 Binary files /dev/null and b/protestingisnotenough/screencomunities.png differ diff --git a/protestingisnotenough/screenenergy.png b/protestingisnotenough/screenenergy.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fde365c Binary files /dev/null and b/protestingisnotenough/screenenergy.png differ diff --git a/protestingisnotenough/screenmedia.png b/protestingisnotenough/screenmedia.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..64c5a1c Binary files /dev/null and b/protestingisnotenough/screenmedia.png differ
