The political impulse to prop up legacy industrial giants like Volkswagen at all costs stems from a deep-seated fear of losing traditional "jobs".

Corporate models built on patriarchal command chains, outdated technology, and heavy historical baggage cannot be revived forever. We need to let go of expiring industrial frameworks to make space for sociocratic, common-good-oriented communities.
