This is something I'm quite excited about. The above map shows all the regions in the world that have a Pirate Party of some kind. The black-coloured areas have Pirate Parties officially registered in Pirate Parties International, while the blue ones are active but unregistered. The red areas seem to have groups that share objectives with the party.

This link shows the full reach of the PPI; it shows the member countries and those that could be said are loosely affiliated with them.We have this big group dedicated to civil rights, democracy, free information, etc. We even have the Electronic Frontier Foundation; and we are currently living in a world where crowd funding is possible, along with individuals being able to collectively contribute logistics (for example, like in the sites Airbnb and SwapRight). And there is a system for distributed computing that helps scientists find ways to cure diseases.

People, we already have the foundations for an outfit similar to Global Frequency or Planetary! Even our cellphones are capable of so much more than what was shown in the comics. The tech is there; hopefully we'll see things coalesce within our lifetimes.
