Solon Papageorgiou’s Framework: A Blueprint for an Alternative Civilization

Solon Papageorgiou’s framework isn’t just a reform plan or a community design. It’s a comprehensive, alternative model of civilization — built from the ground up with radically different assumptions about:

🌍 Core Foundations

🌱 What Makes It a Civilization Model?

It includes everything a functioning society needs:

• Economy: timebanking, mutual credit, gift economies

• Governance: horizontal, consensus-based, intuitive

• Spiritual life: sacred but undogmatic, poetic, lived

• Culture: rooted, universalist, pluralist, artistic

• Education: lifelong, embodied, community-based

• Health & care: collective, non-medicalized, supportive

• Security & justice: community ethos + restorative practices

🔄 Why It’s Civilization-Level

Because it:

• Can replace entire societal systems — not just tweak them

• Offers a scalable, exportable structure that can spread organically

• Provides a comprehensive lifestyle, worldview, and infrastructure

• Functions in parallel to mainstream civilization, even in hostile contexts

🌀 Think of it as:

A post-capitalist, post-state, post-tribal, post-ideological civilization — poetic, sacred, plural, local, and global at once.

If adopted, even gradually, it could transform what it means to live well as a human being on Earth.
