[P2P-es] A parting of ways with Bernardo Gutierrez

Thanks Bernardo,

Though the case of Gordon comes up a lot, I never bring it up on my own,
only as a reaction to disinformation, literally every single time I bring
it up, it's because of this. While the case of Gordon was particularly
galling and he was singled out for abuse, you know as well as me that it
happened with every single person who left the flok. That is what I find
symptomatic, the inablitity to disagree or leave without this whole attempt
at character assasination. There is a difference between the attitude of
flok mgt, where this scapegoating is used as a way to maintain internal
coherence around the leader, and done by people who were there, and you,
who came afterwards (yes indeed, though you participated remotely as well),
spread the disinfo externally, and kept maintaining the message even after
receiving corrected info. It's one thing to trash people in kaffee klatsch,
to use it for internal group cohesion against perceived enemies, but quite
another to use public mailing lists to keep repeating false charges. But
let's move on. I am happy to see that the only charges retained now for
Gordo is that he used copyright for his newsletters and is ill. We're
making progress. Same thing for AD and the others, I don't mind that you
trash him, (them) privately, it's your right, but if you repeated spread
the charge that he is a spy, you have to come up with proof. I think it
would be an entirely more productive use of your time, and that of others,
to focus on the continued construction of flok, and to forget about
attacking perceived enemies and trying to suppress autonomous evaluations.
I think we are reaching that space, and can leave the negativity behind.

If you had read the blogpost and fb discussion about my evaluation, , you
will have seen that I say the same thing as you, i.e. I'm concluding that
it was not a strategic transition project but that many seeds have been
sown that will have an effect in Ecuador, but that globally it still
remains a turning point that it was made possible. I also mention the
participatory methodology as one of its innovations in policy making. There
is nothing improper in evaluating a project and its pro's and con's, and
I'm glad you are giving your perspective here. I agree with the three
points, despite their imperfect execution, which is quite normal in the
real world. This is why many people will continue working on post-flok
experiments with various names. You and I played different roles in this,
you through communication and myself and the research team (augmented by
all those who participated and co-constructed the documents), did our part.
And as you agree, not just us, this is why it is so important not to malign
the other people who participated, even if they left the project for
various reasons. The difference for the post-flok projects I would like to
undertake in the future, is that I believe the internal processes should be
prefigurative of the kind of society we want to achieve. So, no, not asking
the boss for permission if we want to talk somewhere (in these other emails
where you make these arguments that this was proper, I was surprised, as I
previously interpreted your position as being actually more radical than
mine, i.e. some kind of more absolute p2p requirement; I have been
surprised by your argument pro-hierarchical permission and control in the
discussion elswhere), or meet with a particular person. There is no reason
these processes should be centralized and controlled, it's actually
counter-productive, but that's just my opinion. According to me, the
internal processes were based on a triple deception, 1) in the
communication with our funders. Though it is difficult to prove, I have
significant anecdotal evidence to argue that our funders, until very
recently, did not truly know what the flok was about and had misconceptions
about it; it is probably my weakest claim, because it relies on anecdotes,
but this very fact derives from the secrecy of the negotiations as well  2)
disinformation of the own staff, I have extensive evidence that this is the
case, and it would take at least six pages, to document this; and you have
seen most of them; I have a very strong evidence-based argument for this;
3) a propaganda model of external communication, based on maintaining a
mythology of absolute success, and attempts, such as yours, to prevent
independent evaluations that question this narrative. My opinion is that it
is not normal that an independent evaluation is seen as a threat, it should
be part and parcel of any open project, that people can challenge it
without be submitted to pressure.

 If you challenge any of these theses, I'd be happy to provide the
evidence, and to hear the counter-evidence from you.

 I'm not saying this can't work, most of history has worked that way; what
I'm saying is that it is very problematic to instantiate an open culture
and society, based on methods that are not only alien to it, but actively
opposed to it.

Though I didn't like the opacity, really extreme hierarchical control,
permission-based mgt style that was used internally, I realize it is one of
the perennial choices that humans take in times of extreme stress. But
please just use it internally, inside your present existing team, just
don't try project it externally after I and others have left the project. I
always accepted it, my red line is maligning third parties without proof,
which is commonly called defamation. A part from that, I wish you and your
team the best of luck in  your freely accepted methodologies,

As p2p-f network, with our friends and associates, we want to try a
different track, where the internal processes match the external goals,
and of course, we may fail, but I think it is worth trying after seeing the
difficulties of the first attempt. This is how social learning works, and
why it is important to have open discourse about it.
