El Patrón del Bien: Building a Cartel for Good
The shadow of narcos and the war on drugs still looms in our culture, business culture and nefarious cultural impact
Power is a double-edged sword, some of the cartel dynasties were corrupted by it;
however evil they are considered, their power manifested in organizations with thousands of members, money laundering operations in multiple currencies and business verticals, complex international logistics and global political power
What if we look at their strategy, and remove the evil
Can we create a cartel for good? agressively fight for the world we want to see?
Besides
Corporations are like cartels, "deny,” “defend” and “depose", tech monopolies, bailouts, worsening public infrastructure
A Cartel for Good
El Patrón del Bien, Santo Cabrón, isn’t about idolizing the wrong people
Reclaim the idea of power and use it to build something meaningful
Connect with your shadow and find the courage to proceed
Our businesses can grow together if we
• Invest in good teams: Support artists and professionals that provide essential services to communities, specially in rural areas
• Generosity: Instead of wasting time cutting corners, think about ways to increase our resources
• Legislative power: Support community candidates and advocacy organizations
The old hierarchies are dead
We’re here to normalize inclusion and build an anarchic participatory community where we take good care of each other
Technology, Craftmanship, and Leisure
We use technology to create resilient systems, with high quality, so that we can take long vacations without worrying about uptime
Seeds today, ancient trees of the future
We grow quietly, persistently, and with purpose
This will outlast us
Power, kindness, justice, and resilience
