RadicalxChange
RadicalxChange is a global movement founded by economist Glen Wyle in 2018. It aims to upgrade Democracy, Market, Data Economy, Commons, and Identity by promoting plurality, equality, community, and decentralization. The RadicalxChange Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is responsible for driving the RxC movement, building communities, and providing education on democratic innovation.
The movement brings together people from various fields, including social scientists, technologists, artists, and activists. It is constantly evolving and welcomes new people and ideas to create a more diverse, equal, and free social world.
One of the key concepts of RadicalxChange is Data Dignity, which challenges the way Big Tech companies handle data. It advocates for a more fair and ethical approach to data management.
RadicalxChange also promotes innovative voting and funding mechanisms. It supports Quadratic Voting and Plural Voting as alternative voting systems, and Quadratic Funding and Plural Funding as alternative funding models. Additionally, it explores the concept of Partial Common Ownership, which is a more equitable and efficient asset management method compared to traditional capitalism or communism.
The movement also addresses the topic of Radical Antitrust, particularly in relation to Antitrust Law. However, the details of this discussion are not clear.
In terms of social identity, RadicalxChange aims to create a truly free identity infrastructure. It explores the concept of Decentralized ID, with Idena being mentioned as a resource. It has also changed the name to "Social Identity".
RadicalxChange has a strong community with a Code of Conduct in place to ensure a safe and inclusive environment. It offers job opportunities and listings, and has chapters in various regions. The community is committed to promoting the principles of RadicalxChange.
The movement has gained media attention and is known for its stylish design. It organizes conferences, such as the "A NEW ERA OF DEMOCRACY conference, which is attended by organizations like g0v. It also hosts a Hackathon called GitxChange.
