Is anyone actually making a new cybersyn? It would be interesting to have one that’s designed to better organize mutual aid rather than to run an entire economy.
Not that I know of (which isn't much to be fair). Though there are some good arguments out there that amazon/walmart are essentially modern day cybersyns in their internal functioning. While I disagree to some extend, that's what the "liberate ..."-part in my title was hinting at.
There are some open-source business management software projects. Maybe that would be a good place to start? I wonder if anyone here would be interested in turning any of those into a new cybersyn.
Repurposing business software towards organizing mutual aid sounds like a cool project, actually. I'm not sure it has much to do with Cybersyn at that point, but that's actually irrelevant. I'm not much of a programmer so I'm not sure how much I could really contribute though
The grocery chain I work for is basically run by Cybersyn, I made the realization a few months ago while I was pumping inventory numbers into the system, just stood there in aisle slacked jawed going "bro wtf this is literally just Allendes Chile 2.0"
