Volare, fino a circa un secolo fa, era solo un'utopia!

Against all dystopias designed by the ruling classes and their state rulers, we foresee a simple utopia as much more concrete and achievable. We see the salvation of man and his living environment, in the constitution of Confederate communities and organized from the bottom up with representatives revocable at any time on the basis of assembly decision. We hope for a decentralization from the big metropolises towards the countryside and the creation of independent but coordinated agricultural communities, in which there is production of food and everything you need, such as clothing, furniture, etc. according to artisanal methods that promote individual creativity. The training and education of children and young people will take place according to methods agreed by the members of each community and will have as its purpose not only a mere professional specialization, but the complete formation of the character and peculiarities peculiar to each one. Industrial production will remain in urban centers and will be almost completely automated, requiring only a few hours of weekly work and the operation of unpaid worker technicians coming in rotation from the various agricultural communities. Industrial production will follow the directives and meet the needs decided and elaborated by the Confederate communities, and the factories will operate on self-produced solar energy on site, as well as that useful for the life of the municipalities, and cold fusion. Cities will be, thanks to decentralization in the countryside, decongested, both in the sense of population density and for a better quality of life. Weapons will be completely destroyed and their materials recycled for civilian use, because in a humanity without ruling classes and managed by the world population there will be no need to oppose anyone, but only willingness to cooperate, aware that for a happy life it is necessary to be constructive and not destructive. All this looms like a new Renaissance in which the inner and material, economic realization of each one is no longer subject to the logic of profit in money, but to personal and community growth, which will promote an exponential increase of talents, both in the scientific and in the artistic field, just as it happened during the Italian Renaissance. Each community will maintain the traditions and customs of its territory, as well as the nations, but there will be no more borders. Those who, despite the well-being so realized and widespread, should want to harm or in any way override the municipalities in order to restore an order based on violence and autocratic harassment of other human beings, would be immediately arrested and exiled to some uninhabited island lost in the oceans: Where no one needs to steal, since all goods will be available to everyone according to their real needs, crime has no reason to exist!
Does this seem like a utopia to you?! But, is it not much more utopian, indeed, dystopian, all that the elites of today's rich billionaires have planned, aimed only at maintaining their privileges and, to achieve this, to provoke wars and massacres of innocents, to poison the planet, to completely replace human work and tasks with robots?! Technology must be used "cum grano salis" and, in order for science and research to be free, they must not be subject to the economic interests of a few rich people, to their narrow and limited perspective, and who reason like the character of Verga, Mazzarò, who thinks only of "stuff", of the riches he wants to bring even to the grave! This will be an unbloody revolution, a reversal of the perspective, meaning and purpose of human life on this planet: Get ready, then!

I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?

A future of support and care gor each others wellbeing and mental health
In 2040, Europe has blossomed into a society where kindness is the foundation of everyday life. People naturally support each other’s mental health, treating one another with compassion, patience, and respect. Bullying, cruelty, and exclusion have faded into the past, replaced by communities where empathy and understanding are taught from childhood. Workplaces, schools, and public spaces are filled with encouragement, and mental well-being is nurtured as carefully as physical health. Neighbors look out for one another, strangers offer warmth, and love and solidarity are the true currencies of the future.

My vision of the European Union is a Union of tolerance and understanding, where people can actively listen to each other, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality or other factors. In this EU, from a young age, at all levels of education, children will be guided not to memorise and pressure on performance as human stands, but will be more encouraged to use different sources of information, including digital books, but to learn through intergenerational sharing of knowledge and experience between children, parents, grandparents and educational institutions : Primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities, leisure centers, social services facilities and so on. Thanks to the automation of many processes, people will not be so pushed into performances, but they will have more time to care for each other if, for example, someone gets sick or finds themselves in a difficult life situation. I dream, also, of a future where healthy competition among people in school collectives, at work, but also among people in personal life will remain, but will be limited by ethical principles of decency, kindness and emotional intelligence. The teacher will no longer be the owner of the truth, he will lead his students to critical thinking using various tools and technologies. I would like society to be less polarised in 20 years, to focus on what unites us, not what divides us. I dream of a modern and progressive world that will be more accepting and where people will be people again.
