What would it look like to build financial infrastructure for solidarity rather than speculation? While blockchain technology has largely been captured by libertarian and extractive market logic, it certainly does not need to be that way. In this talk, we'll explore Solidarity Primitives, development and architectural design patterns designed to forge economic solidarity between individuals and collectives. Drawing from our work at Bread Cooperative and research I've documented through my podcast, The Blockchain Socialist, we'll examine concrete examples like the BREAD community token, savings circles implementation, and the Solidarity Fund mechanisms that enable participatory funding without relying on venture capital or traditional financial intermediaries. We'll discuss how these primitives address a critical gap: the technical and coordination barriers that have historically made alternative economic models difficult to implement at scale. From worker cooperatives to mutual aid networks, the infrastructure simply hasn't existed. Peer-to-peer technologies can change that but only if designed with solidarity, not profit maximization, as the core principle. This talk is for anyone interested in the practical dimensions of building a post-capitalist economy: what does it actually look like to write code for collective autonomy? How do we ensure decentralized systems serve communities rather than concentrating power?

Online anonymity is being demonized and undermined. But anonymity has an important social function for preserving individuals and group against social threats. We will argue for the philosophical and political value of being anonymous, especially against the rising state of capture in state and corporate surveillance. Anonymity is more than namelessness: it's a tool of resistance.

Auf dem Bundesparteitag der Grünen habe ich den Antrag gestellt, sich für ein europäisches Grundrecht auf Verschlüsselung einzusetzen. Dieser Antrag wurde angenommen und ich will jetzt mal schauen, inwiefern dieses Thema außerhalb der Politik auf Unterstützung trifft und wie man zum Beispiel in der Zivilgesellschaft dafür Verbündete finden kann.

Chaos prepping in case of communication collapse Was würden wir tun, wenn dies der letzte Congress wäre, wo wir in der gewohnten Art miteinander kommunizieren oder uns frei miteinander treffen könnten - wenn ein nächster Congress wegen Faschisten, Überwachung und/oder anderer Katastrophe in dieser Form nicht mehr möglich wäre? What would we do, if this would be the last congress in which we could meet freely and communicate in the known way, if a next congress somehow would not be possible this way, because of faschism, surveillance and/or other catastrophe? Ein kurzer Austausch zu Szenarien und Ansätzen, damit umzugehen. A brief exchange on scenarios and possible ways to deal with them.

Most people and organizations have their very own way of acquiring, organizing, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

WhatsApp groups have become the default tool for coordinating anything. Also, WhatsApp groups are terrible. We all have stories. From an architectural point of view, they are terrible because the least configurable platform. There is a 1 and a 0 - you are a member of a group and get every message, or you are not a member and get no message. We used to have tools that worked better. Every forum built on free forum software would work better. The problem is - everyone who hears "we should organise" immediately imagines a WhatsApp group. There is knowledge out there about how to build tools and help people organise through them - but we have no language. I am proposing Collaboration Architecture. What do we think?
