Then look no further than Solon Papageorgiou's micro-utopia framework!
🌱 20-Second Viral Summary:
“Micro-Utopias are small (150 to 25,000 people), self-sufficient communities where people live without coercion, without hierarchy, and without markets. Everything runs on contribution, cooperation, and shared resources instead of money, mutual credits, time banking, bartering and authority. Each micro-utopia functions like a living experiment—improving mental health, rebuilding human connection, and creating a sustainable, crisis-proof way of life. When one succeeds, it inspires the next. Micro-utopias spread not by force, but by example. The system scales through federation up to 25,000 people. Afterwards, federations join a lightweight inter-federation circle, a meta-network, The Bridge League.”
Solon Papageorgiou’s framework, formerly known as the anti-psychiatry.com model of micro-utopias, is a holistic, post-capitalist alternative to mainstream society that centers on care, consent, mutual aid, and spiritual-ethical alignment. Designed to be modular, non-authoritarian, and culturally adaptable, the framework promotes decentralized living through small, self-governed communities that meet human needs without reliance on markets, states, or coercion. It is peace-centric, non-materialist, and emotionally restorative, offering a resilient path forward grounded in trust, shared meaning, and quiet transformation.
In simpler terms:
Solon Papageorgiou's framework is a simple, peaceful way of living where small communities support each other without relying on money, governments, or big systems. Instead of competing, people share, care, and make decisions together through trust, emotional honesty, and mutual respect. It’s about meeting each other’s needs through kindness, cooperation, and spiritual-ethical living—like a village where no one is left behind, and life feels more meaningful, connected, and human. It’s not a revolution—it’s just a better, gentler way forward.
Post-Scarcity-Oriented, Cooperative-First, Safety-Net Maximalist, And Innovation-Friendly
1. Post-scarcity-oriented
This means the micro-utopia is designed as if basic survival scarcity no longer exists — even if the outside world still operates under scarcity. In practice, this means:
Housing, food, healthcare, education, connection, and safety are guaranteed.
People are not forced to work to meet survival needs.
The system is built assuming abundance can be created through cooperation, automation, shared ownership, and smart design.
The community functions as though fear-based competition is obsolete.
➡️ In simple terms: No one is ever punished economically for being alive.
2. Cooperative-first
This means the default mode of organizing society, decision-making, and production is cooperation instead of competition.
In practice:
Decisions use consensus or consent-based methods, not adversarial voting.
Work is structured around shared contributions, not individual competition.
Conflicts are handled through repair, mediation, and clarity, not punitive systems.
Social status comes from helpfulness, care, and mastery, not wealth or dominance.
➡️ In simple terms: The system rewards collaboration, not competition.
3. Safety-net maximalist
This means the framework deliberately creates the strongest possible protection from harm, failure, poverty, or social exclusion.
In practice, this includes:
Universal housing
Universal food access
Universal belonging (no one is left out of the community)
Emotional safety protocols
Non-punitive conflict resolution
Guaranteed roles, even for vulnerable members
Fall-back support for illness, burnout, disability, or emotional distress
Zero-risk life basics: no one can lose essential rights because of decisions, mistakes, or circumstances
➡️ In simple terms: It is impossible to fall through the cracks. The community always catches you.
4. Innovation-friendly
This means the micro-utopia is deliberately structured to encourage creativity, experimentation, invention, and new ideas.
In practice:
Individuals can start experimental projects without bureaucratic barriers.
Micro-enterprises, arts, labs, and research collectives are encouraged.
Failure is not punished — it is seen as part of the learning cycle.
Optional micro-market activities (non-essential) can be used to test new ideas.
Talent is nurtured, not constrained by exam scores, credentials, or rigid roles.
There is space for co-creation, prototyping, and cross-disciplinary work.
➡️ In simple terms: People are free to experiment, try things, create, and innovate — without risking their survival or wellbeing.
🌟 Putting It All Together
When combined, these four characteristics mean:
Micro-Utopias feel like a future society where survival is guaranteed, cooperation is natural, creativity is encouraged, and no one is left behind.
They function like:
A post-capitalist safety system
A post-industrial creative ecosystem
A post-scarcity community structure
…and ultimately, a living prototype of a humane, modern, adaptable society.
