I totally agree with this: decentralization and autonomy.

This is the future of federalism. It has been already pioneered in the
USA on a state level long time ago, the challenge now is to make it on
the city scale, then town, then village. This will solve many problems.

Its outstanding to have a growing example at hand with Rojava. The
challenge, I think, is to put agreements and understandings in place to
avoid isolationism, which is the steep slope behind the corner. In
Italy, for instance, a federalist turn would really help, but this
narrative is all in the hands of isolationists and xenophobes which are
basically polluting the solution with some very cheap populism.
