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

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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!

Today's cities are more evenly populated. They are made up mainly of small, almost self-sufficient buildings, which produce their own heating and cooling thanks to thermal paints and vegetation covering roofs and walls. Connected, everything can be done by thought... opening, heating, ordering... housework is done autonomously by specialized robots. We don't meet much, since we go out less and virtual contact makes us almost present, thanks to 3D holograms. Human beings are more inward-looking, no longer travelling to meet or work.

un monde sans problèmes
Firstly, to have leaders who are in touch with everyday life, and who are therefore paid the same as the majority of citizens, which would show how the majority of people live. Decisions would then be taken on the basis of real life, not on the basis of assumptions made by people who are disconnected from it. Protecting others and our resources, helping everyone according to their needs. The participation of all in the common effort. In the event of incivilities, misdemeanors or worse, crimes or misdemeanors, firm justice without fail and no laxity! Respect for traditions, for the past, which must serve as a positive example to avoid repeating past mistakes and to develop what has been positive.Will the dream ever become reality????

Futur régulé
In the future, we would be assisted by artificial intelligence, but not replaced by it. We would work in harmony with it. We'd have good salaries, and new technologies would enable us to travel fast without polluting as much as an airplane. We'd be able to visit the world, guilt-free and without destroying the planet. Every culture would have its place and be free. Wars would no longer exist. A universal law, or at least a legal text, would define rights, duties and punishable crimes for the whole world. These laws would be voted on universally by all the world's citizens. Voting would become compulsory, in the form of monthly questionnaires for which we would be given time to make individual decisions. This time could also be paid for, to ensure that every citizen of the world is involved in global and local decision-making. It would also be permissible to have laws adapted locally, and to move to the area where the law suits us. This zone would be managed independently, and the laws applying to it would apply only in that zone. Prisons would also be better managed. Prisons are places of punishment, not relaxation. There would be many more of them, to have more room for all types of crime (perhaps zoned by crime) so that justice could be properly and fully applied. As for healthcare, a great deal of investment would be made in research into as yet unknown treatments, enabling us to cure more and more illnesses.

United in Diversity
In 2040, I would like to see a future where cultural diversity and inclusion are at the heart of every community in Europe. Imagine cities where people from all backgrounds, languages, and traditions come together to share ideas, collaborate, and celebrate their differences. Schools would teach multiple languages from an early age, not only to help communication but to promote understanding of different cultures. Technology would make it easier for people to connect across borders, creating virtual cultural exchange programs where students and professionals could collaborate on projects.
