Have you heard of matchpool Coin? It's a way to link people. Most think it 's for dating but it's not. It is supposed to span across all industries. This could work this idea.

No, I haven't heard of matchpool but I will check it out. It's incredible how many services are ready and waiting to revolutionize commerce. It's just a matter of people realizing the opportunities that are emerging and then the very hard part of implementing these networks. 

I don't know exactly how you would make it work, but it should be possible. Right now I can go on Etsy and find a handmade shirt from the Ukraine and buy that shirt from the person who made it.

But imagine if I could

- Find the exact style of shirt I wanted by browsing styles from designers
- Get matched with a tailor who could produce that style, and who's reputation I approved of
- Choose a fabric that is near to the tailor, and see the entire provenance of the materials, down to the family that grew the cotton to the worker owned factory that produced the fabric
- Pay far less than I would purchasing from some corporate brand
- And have that package shipped to me through an Uber-like decentralized delivery service
- Pay a price that affords everyone in the supply chain a healthy living
- Pay in crypto and have smart contracts pass my payment throughout the entire network that made my shirt.

The main problems you need to solve are
- Putting capital into the network. The people growing the cotton need to make a living well before you pay for that shirt, so there needs to be a way for people to acquire short term debt.
- Building the logistics of the commerce network. This is hard, but there are plenty of real world logistics networks that do this every day.
- Deal with the laws, regulations, and tax structures that exist between everyone. This seems like the absolute hardest part, but we don't have to settle for that. If someone can build a proof of concept, say within a single economic jurisdiction, then any government that stands in the way would be directly standing in the way of their citizens economic freedom. Obviously lots of governments do that happily, but enough pressure can change that.

I've truly never been a Marxist. I don't trust bureaucracies and any form of socialism I've seen involve ambiguous power structures that will inevitably be corrupted. But implementing something like this on public blockchains might actually allow for a type of crypto Marxism that could actually work. Maybe.

I'm not sure if you have heard of Viva, but there is a money transfer text messaging service being released called Viva Cash. This coupled with microfinancing could be helpful in solving the money transfer and financing issue. There is also a really great article,[Winning supply chain strategies for African markets](http://www.supplychainquarterly.com/topics/Strategy/20150331-winning-supply-chain-strategies-for-african-markets/) with scenarios to help solve the logistics problem. Now laws and tax structure. Ooh that's a doozy, but it's solvable.
