>Companies and their paraphernalia (such as stock market, company culture etc)
Average American cant imagine life without companies, but what they really are is a dehumanizing scheme for economic activity. When there is economic activity without blood ties or locality, it’s done by a company

Why don't you and your "locals" build your own cars? Mine the ore, smelt the steel, design them, manufacture all the parts, assemble it. Then sell it for a reasonable price.
All on the shitty little desert island you live on.

the legal fiction of corporations as people is a spurious lie which must be done away with

in my opinion the issue of locality is secondary to the issue of ownership and control- the financialization and takeover of corporate bodies by investors and private equity has been allowed to proceed unchecked by progressive deregulation, enabled by regulatory capture and outright bribery by financial powers, whose central banking system was envisioned by corrupt monopolists as a scheme for unchecked power and global control

in my opinion a scheme of cooperative ownership where every worker has a stake in the work they do, expressed not only in compensation schemes (no more CEOs earning 1500x+ the salary of their factory workers with enormous bonuses and stock options) but also in democratic balance between investors and administrators (whose natural self-interest leads them to make decisions which are deleterious to the corporation, the workers and community members) and the people producing the value, the workers.

Companies are a scam for personal funding of compliers to the system

Good luck, Comrade.

a second, corollary point has to do with multinational corporations and the abuse of offshore jurisdictions and fraudulent accounting practices (for example, transfer pricing and taxation) needs to be reined in

the OECD already started this process with their reports on the issue, and all multilateral institutions have agreed that this is something which needs to be addressed, but as these institutions are largely owned and influenced by financial institutions and their multinational allies, any attempts to regulate the unchecked greed and corruption (especially flowing value out of the global south to financial centers like wall street, city of london, luxembourg and lichtenstein and caribbean havens) are kneecapped and rendered ineffectual from the start

i recommend the documentary "the spider's web" and the books "treasure islands" and "the finance curse" by nicholas shaxson to learn more about this issue, often ignored but incredibly important and influential, as it is right at the heart of the seeming powerlessness of democratic governments to reform the system, controlled as it is by amoral financial institutions and multinational corporations, who are interested only in extracting as much wealth and value as possible.

mutualism

There can be local economic activity that manufactures parts one at a time and then they can trade them. Like it was done in the past, one village was all about wines, the other all about bottles and the third all about bottling and then trading by themselves without superstructures. Like medieval times

Wow, I never really looked at it like that before!

The locality of production helped form strong community ties and transparency

>>509391885
have you looked into community currencies anon? i think you might be interested in it if you haven't.

ultimately, control over the issuance of currency by a democratically-controlled treasury instead of separate unaccountable banks and financial powers is at the heart of all this.

the movie "miracle of worgl" is a great way to learn more about this and how it's helped revitalize local economies in the past, even in times of widespread financial collapse.
