Sometimes it's nice to think about the world we're fighting for, and one way I do that is by picturing some goal I'd love to complete without capitalism fucking up my shit. It makes me want to see that world that much more, and it keeps me going.

Personally, I would love to create an animated series similar to Avatar the Last Airbender or Castlevania.

What about you?

    Large Scale: I've always loved the idea of community workshops/makerspaces and if I had the money/power, it would be awesome to fund them in as many communities as possible so that people have the means to easily repair and build stuff themselves.

    More Personal: Basically that, but in my garage, including stuff like a relatively inexpensive CNC, decent 3D printers, etc. Basically the means to manufacture almost anything I would want to make at home.

      Found my alt! This is what I want to do too. I've tentatively decided to call it The Means

        That's a great name! I also wanted to say that I kind of envision it as necessary for a (hopefully) future society that's not nearly as consumerist as our current. Sure, plenty of things will be made in factories still, of course, but those things will ideally be made to last forever, as long as citizens have the means to refurbish and repair with these local facilities. Also, plenty of custom items would be better suited for small local workshops. Not just hardware, either, but furniture, clothing, stickers, whatever.
