"[In a commons] ... there are engagements with the market, they're just not capital-driven, and extractive, and predatory.

...

There can be market activity, but as many Open Source communities know, introducing money and transactionalism to that community can poison relationships. Can start to erode the community. So there's a certain trickiness to dealing with money in a commons."

revolution.social - A Podcast About the Social Media Revolution

Join us as we explore the social media revolution and how we can build an open world for all.

Fabulous to have a new book from the incomparable #ChrisSmaje, and even better to hear him discussing it with luminary #DavidBollier.

A refreshingly different vision of a future we might devote ourselves to building, and so find ourselves living into...

A Vision Of A Post-Capitalist Eco-Localism That Works - PopularResistance.Org

What might the world look like if climate change is not stopped? What if societies refuse to, or cannot rein in capitalism and its relentless growth and exploitation of nature? Chris Smaje, a writer and farmer in southwest England, offers some intelligent speculation in his recently published book, Finding Lights in a Dark Age: Sharing Land, Work and Craft.   Smaje is not a doomer or survivalist, nor given to lurid prophesy. His book is a serious analysis of current macro-political and social trends and how they might play out in everyday life. He extrapolates from existing trends -- the rising costs of fossil fuels, food, and transport, the proliferation of droughts, floods, and wildfires, etc. – to sketch a vision of a post-capitalist, climate-disrupted world that is already arriving.

A good summary of the 1990s internet commons, and maybe a warning for the online commons of the 2020s?

"Well, the Market hadn't figured out how to monetize it yet, and the commoners, for their part, didn't preemptively devise ways to protect the value they were creating."

La idea de una polis paralela sirve para muchos propósitos. Las personas pueden tener un espacio para desacreditar la propaganda oficial y expandir su imaginación sobre lo que es posible. Pueden construir relaciones horizontales y cordiales entre sí mientras crean un nuevo orden prefigurativo. Pueden decir la verdad y expresar valores saludables. Pueden reclamar su dignidad, solidaridad social y esperanza.

Nathan Schneider on Building Democratic Governance on the Internet | Frontiers of Commoning, with David Bollier

To counter the "implicit feudalism" that is the norm on the Internet, activist-scholar Nathan Schneider explains the potential of democratic governance in online life and its importance to "real world" democracy. A professor of media studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, Schneider argues that "online spaces could be sites of creative, radical and democratic renaissance." But this will require progressive activists to heed the lessons of various social and decolonial movements throughout history, and to find the resolve to use the technologies in creative ways.
