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 imagine that in 2025 I will be able to take a spontaneous day trip to the moon with my family. There we can experience the wonders of weightlessness and enjoy a fantastic view of the blue planet, our home, from above. Such a short break far above our usual hemisphere is a very special experience.

Ein Tag im Europa des Jahres 2050
The morning sun bathes the Berlin skyline in a golden light. I open the windows of my energy self-sufficient apartment - built from recycled materials, climate-neutral and fully connected. My personal AI assistant suggests sustainable options for the day: An appointment with an international team in a virtual conference environment, followed by a visit to the urban garden on the roof of our apartment complex. Europe has changed fundamentally since 2025. The transition to a circular economy has been accelerated by political decisions and fossil fuels have long been a thing of the past. Thanks to new technologies and AI-supported automation, society is more flexible and fairer. Education is digital, individualized and available throughout life. Social security systems guarantee a decent life for all. Vehicles drive silently and autonomously on the roads. Public transportation is free, financed by a Europe-wide digital tax. The air is clean, green parks dot the cities. I meet up with friends in a café where food waste no longer exists - everything is used sustainably. As I enjoy the view, I think about the challenges that Europe has overcome: Climate change, social inequality and economic disruption. But by acting together, we have created a future that is more sustainable, fairer and more liveable - for all Europeans.

Un avenir inclusif et solidaire
In 2040, I'd like to see a world where education is truly inclusive and values all pathways, especially vocational education. A system where every student finds his or her place and develops his or her talents, with no hierarchy between streams. Inequalities in access to culture and healthcare would be reduced thanks to ambitious policies. Preventive health care would be a priority, with fair treatment for all. Finally, society would be more ecological, with responsible consumer choices and technological advances serving the common good. A fairer, more united and more respectful world.
