Small super-empowered vanguards can with the use of systems disruption to amplify effort delegitimize weakened governmental hierarchies and force them into the box of hollow states. However instead of a pure organic government envisioned by Che an organic open source insurgency composed of a plethora of small super-empowered groups (that appeal to primary loyalties of tribe cast clan family gang ideology etc.) form in the vacuum. This open source insurgency will only bring fragmentation and perpetual conflict. The vanguard’s role is merely as a catalyst for its formation.
What if the global guerrilla vanguard was constructive rather than destructive? What if the vanguard was building resilience and autonomy survival and security instead of chaos and destruction?
Small super-empowered groups can also do potholes as reportedly. Hizbollah has been able to show in Lebanon. Maybe not global guerrillas but certainly a localized decentralized model and adapted through lots of public transport bicycles and local agriculture. In the 70s some of the 60s civil rights/antiwar/feminist/environmental energies of the Cold War baby boomers went into community gardens farmers’ markets food coops feeding programs local agriculture sustainability and environmental restoration. These networks still exist.
In the face of oil-funded terrorism an oil war in Iraq an overstretched under-budgeted corrupt social welfare system and increasingly expensive natural disasters and emergencies can be a logical open source guerrilla response.
For instance a minimal amount of solar electric photovoltaic PV power charges batteries. Combine that with a hand crank foot pedal or string pull generator and you have virtually permanent personal electric power (cell phone flashlight or reading light computer camera…) for emergency situations just in case.
Before the invasion of. NATO forces dropped solar/dynamo AM/FM/SW radios for the civilian population. After the invasion they gave away more radios. Unfortunately the solar/dynamo wouldn’t allow for battery switching. The NATO radios charge only the internal hardwired battery. If the solar/dynamo could charge batteries in the external battery bay then you could charge one set of batteries while you used in rotation another two or three sets of batteries to operate a cell phone and light as well as the radio. The solar/dynamo would be a source of electricity day or night by sunlight or muscle power at least for the lifetime of the batteries crank pedal string and PV panel. Now add a bicycle.
The charges standard size AA batteries and thus does allow for battery switching. The Bogolight is a solar LED flashlight or reading light that provides 4 hours of light for every 8 hours of sunlight. It is very well designed. You buy one for $25 and they donate a second light to various development programs around world at home and abroad.
The human scale combination of solar power with human muscle power allows the human power component to become a kind of. Instead of turning Gandhi’s spinning wheel making thread for khadi cloth cranking or pedalling or pulling a string the repetitive practice of personal power producing electricity for an AA battery all the way back to the grid.
