  1. The Impact of Creative Utilitarianism on Political Structures and Government

The Potential for Creative Utilitarianism to Promote Decentralization and Democratic Governance

Creative Utilitarianism has the potential to promote decentralization and democratic governance in the political realm. This means challenging the traditional centralization of power and control in politics, and promoting greater decentralization and democracy.

One of the key features of Creative Utilitarianism is the emphasis on decentralization and worker control. This means that individuals and communities are given greater control over the production and distribution of goods and services, and are able to shape the economic system in ways that reflect their own values and interests. This emphasis on decentralization and worker control is reflected in the practice of syndicalism, which seeks to replace capitalist ownership of the means of production with worker ownership and control (Tarrow, 1998).

This emphasis on decentralization and worker control can also be applied to the political realm, by promoting greater decentralization and democracy in the governance of political systems. This can be achieved through the development of new governance structures and practices that are more decentralized and democratic, and that give greater power and control to individuals and communities.

One potential approach to promoting decentralization and democracy in the political realm is the use of digital technologies, such as blockchain and smart contracts. These technologies can enable decentralization and democracy on a large scale, by providing a platform for the coordination and management of political systems without the need for centralization and hierarchical control.

Overall, the potential for Creative Utilitarianism to promote decentralization and democratic governance in the political realm offers a compelling alternative to traditional political structures and practices. By promoting greater decentralization and democracy, Creative Utilitarianism can help to create more equitable and sustainable political systems.
