I like the ideas of anarchism. But the unsystem of everybody be free, cooperate when needed and don’t hurt each other is always soundly crushed wherever it appears.

This week, I was asked to talk about the #Future of the #UnitedNations in 30 minutes.⬇️
Not an easy task in a year when the #UNsystem has been rocked by a massive financial crisis, when the bureaucratic #UN80 reform initiative avoids addressing geopolitical reality.

For the #UnitedNations, the autumn will be one of the most important periods in decades. A massive #LiquidityCrisis and the #UN80 reforms will reshape the #UN & #UNsystem.

The United Nations’ financial crisis & UN80 reform
I have never worked in the UN system, but somehow I became an expert on UN financing over the past 10 years. In April 2025, I began to regularly comment on the ongoing financial crisis and the UN80…

Why does (almost) nobody know how to reform the #UNsystem? Because there is no proper organizational chart, not even of the UN Secretariat itself, but also not of the entire system.

If you wanna understand the scale of what's gonna hit the #UNsystem in the next year: In this thought experiment conducted inside the UN secretariat on behalf SG Guterres, they're considering massive UN reforms—such as merging WHO (operations), UNICEF, WFP & UNHCR into a single humanitarian agency.

I often get asked about UN financing and differences between various #UNsystem agencies. With (selected) #UNSCEB data for the United Nations core & peacekeeping, WFP & UNICEF some key differences are visible:
- assessed funding yes/no
- assessed dominant yes/no
- voluntary core/earmarked funding
- assessed funding yes/no

Most high-income countries do not have national programs of prostate cancer screening but allow PSA on request. We point out that this has led to the worst possible outcomes. Conclusion: either do screening properly, or not at all. https://www.bmj.com/content/381/bmj-2022-071082

I'm so glad my chime app logged me out of my account last year to a point where I can no longer use it. Because the motherfuckers just rolled out a new update that prevent you from using the app until you uninstall unsystem related apps that is not backed by Google. Which I find very authoritarian.
