Reading this article reminds me how much our ability to send each other money relies on the willingness of the institutional middlemen who control our money.

Although I believe there are good reasons to control the flow of Big Money, I can’t help but feel that it is especially Big Money that manages to escape all institutional control, while it is small money - e.g. the money supporting bottom up resistance and solidarity networks - that is facing all the suppression.

Given all of this, what are the most promising ways for bottom-up networks to share resources in an anonymous, sovereign way? Without e.g. the interference of Zionist, fascist, bootlicking intermediaries?

Is it sending envelopes with cash? Or is this maybe a reason to (cautiously) get into crypto? If the latter, what would be the way to go?

    Probably the italicising of “sovereign”, and the way you seem to be conflating zionism with banking.

    The IDF, and Israeli government is ethnically cleansing Palestine. They have nothing to do with the banking system or how you share money though. So it looks like you’re spouting antisemitic and far right gook.

      Oh yes, I can see how that looks bad.

      I was referring to the article I shared. How Zionists and Zionism-supporters in the West prevent grassroots money from flowing to Gaza (while our big money has no trouble finding its way to the Israeli genocide machine).

      But I guess people generally only read the title.

      Or are Zionists themselves maybe.
