* Find ways to produce what you need
|
1. Find ways to produce what you need. If you need an item, and the
|
||||||
|
default way of getting it is to buy it from an external supplier, try
|
||||||
|
to figure out what it would take to produce it internally. Maybe you'd
|
||||||
|
need tooling and raw materials (machine X and lower-level vitamins Y
|
||||||
|
and Z), plus the skill and time to use this new productive capacity.
|
||||||
|
While the initial capital outlay of buying the tooling might be
|
||||||
|
considerable, and climbing the learning curve might initially take
|
||||||
|
longer than just clicking "Buy Now" on JLCPCB or whatever, this
|
||||||
|
investment might make economic sense if it can be amortized over a
|
||||||
|
long productive life. The new productive capacity might serve the
|
||||||
|
enlave and aligned external sibling-enclaves.

||||||

* Acquire what you need by trading with your network instead of with the capitalist
|
2. Acquire what you need by trading with your network instead of with the
|
||||||
superstructure
|
capitalist superstructure. This is the flip side of option 1: maybe
|
||||||
|
some sibling-enclave has already taken on the task of internalizing
|
||||||
|
the relevant production, and now we can lean on them (while supporting
|
||||||
|
them) to satisfy our needs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Do without
|
3. Do without. This one is simple enough - but the goal is abundance,
|
||||||
|
not austerity. Material conditions will determine our actions,
|
||||||
|
and many goods are worthless. Be stingy by default.
