#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

@paulfree14 unfortunately #sharing #economy has been grabbed already by something else. Some strange implant of communism onto capitalistic society, potentially bringing wrongs of both systems together.

@saper well the word sharing got missinterpreted.
what's happening within #ueber und co is pure trading. you have A und you give it away if you recieve B. ...nothing else then ordinary trading.

@paulfree14 I am using a carsharing service from the national railway company and it reminds me of communism. Stuff gets dirty and nobody cares. People do not own stuff so they don't care. You have to ask bureaucrats (hotline) to fix stuff and they rarely do and never fast.

@saper @paulfree14 I could see how a carsharing service from DB may end up being run more like allocation of railway locos at a depot) even if it has a "cool/trendy" name) and where things can go wrong (not everyone has same discipline as railway workers must to be safe/efficient)

Uber (and other similar services) seem merely a way of trading and reducing external costs / avoiding regulations. (Uber is not popular in my town, taxi cos already have mobile apps!)

@saper don't let the narrative of 'carsharing' fool you. It's renting where ppl aren't encouraged to have shared responsibility but giving A for B and just give a shit about anything else.

@paulfree14 yeah, I understand. But that leads to communist results. So even no advantages of the so-called market economy.

@saper 'market-economy' or call it neoliberalism are the wet dreams of those having more shares in the markets then others.
this market is wasting 30% of food while every 3 secounds a child is dying cause of starvation.
many people have been killed through indirect effects. which makes very resilliant against raising awarness.

@paulfree14 Well. I think it is more complicated than that. I said "so-called market economy" because today economy does not meet market criteria really (not saying this is good or bad). This is a complex problem and there are currently no universal remedies. And of course awareness is only a first little step.

@saper call me naiv but I don't think it's very complicated. all it needs is #solidarity, which always start where someone is currently located and scales up if more resources are available.
...no difference between friends or stranger.

...indeed creating a society based on solidarity is complicated.

@paulfree14 that's the point - known problem from the game theory, that there is no guarantee everybody plays nice.

@saper what game theory garantees is if people get rewared for selfish behavior, selfish behavior will be stronger anchord in our #culture.

also it says that extrinsic motivation is killing intrinsic over time motivation.
there for people tend to ask 'what can I get, instead of what can I do'
