#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!)
