#commons is the answer to #capitalism which deviding us in economic categories.
It follows a different logic and comes through culture with shifting minds.
- it's sharing instead of traiding
- it's caring instead of profit
- it's what can I do, instead of what can I get
- it's what do we need, instead of what do I want
'we can't solve problems with the same pattern we've created them'
- it's #mastodon and #gnusocial instead of twitter
transform #capitalism
make #commons
Don't forget
#resources instead of #money
#custodianship instead of #ownership
@woozle does custodianship in this case has simliar meaning then administrator or steward?
If so I prefer caretaker instead of owner.
Also for the reason that for a lot of commons no administration is needed.
As a example: in the community I'm srayn mostly with most of our clothes are in a common wardrope. If something breaks, you repair it or put it in a box for the clothes which needs tobe repaired.
...while there are enough caretaker this box is moslty empty.
Yes to "steward"; I think "administrator" has slightly different connotations in that it usually implies a hierarchy.
It hadn't occurred to me that a common wardrobe would work -- people need different sizes and such -- but I can see how it would work in some cases, for most clothing... and certainly they need to be maintained... and childrens' clothing often has multiple owners before it becomes too worn out to repair (and then can be cannibalized).
@woozle I couldn't think of an example it's not working. Maybe for some special personalized clothing where the object mostly makes sence on a specific person.
people need different size: so you sort it
benefits:
- the group needs less clothes as if individuals would have their own of everything
- ppl havin more accsess to clothes
- no sorting of whom is what
Different sizes, different tastes, different texture preferences.
Sorting will help, but eventually you get to the point where there are things that only one person actually wears.
I mean, this is an interesting concept, and I probably need to chew it over more in order to properly wrap my head around it; so much of how we live is capitalism-oriented -- buy more things, things belong to only one person, etc. -- that it's difficult to extract reality from the indoctrination.
