You can use NFT's as decentralized permission tokens for access to decentralized databases.

Abstract all the world's resources and how they're converted between each other into one big linked excel table. Everyone wants to know how resources are moving around, but nobody can be trusted to host "the diagram of everything". Different parts of the excel table correspond to different resources in different places, and have notions of data sovereignty over their resources in the table, with areas of joined access between separate entities along boundaries where they exchange resources.

Obviously you'd use something like soulbound NFT's, so its harder for people to sell off write permissions. But you could use all sorts of Sybil protection techniques.

It seems like one possible starting point for a decentralized communism.
