Fwd: Manorial Rights in the UK
by Michel Bauwens 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Davey <briadavey(a)googlemail.com> Date: Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 2:21 AM Subject: Manorial Rights in the UK To: "CommonsDeutschland ." <Silke.Helfrich(a)gmx.de>, David Bollier < david(a)bollier.org>, Heike Loeschmann <Loeschmann(a)boell.de>, Justin Kenrick < justinkenrick(a)yahoo.co.uk>, Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> One of the oddest issues to surface as a result of unconventional gas development is that of "manorial rights". As Paul Mobbs explains: "Unlike the USA, where the energy industry buys minerals rights directly from individual landowners, in UK the rights to the nation's fossil fuels are owned by the Government. The rights to energy minerals in Britain were nationalised in the 1930s - except for land held by manorial lords who inherit their titles. This means that the Government - usually the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)- issues licenses to exploit oil, coal and gas. But in isolated cases that might not be so if rights are held by a manorial landowner." As explained in more detail in an article in the Daily Telegraph on 5th November 2011 - "Under historic laws, that go back to the Norman conquest, 'Lordships of the Manor' have the right to exploit minerals under common land around towns and villages or land that has been brought by someone else but is still on the ancient estate. However unless the mineral rights are registered with the Land Registry before October 2013 they could be lost. Accountants and estate agents are advising landowners to register their land as soon as possible in order to cash in on minerals like gravel, limestone and the new "energy gold", shale gas. This will ensure that landowners are able to profit from shale gas reserves, as long as they gain planning permission, even if the local community is against drilling. The Doomsday Book lists 13,418 Lordships of the Manor who may hold rights over the sub-soil. " http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/8869801/Lords-of-the-Manor-to-ca… In setting out to research this on behalf of us peasants and commoners I notice that there is now a campaign to "End Manorial Rights". The campaign strap line is "An Action Group against out of date feudalistic laws affecting modern society". As the campaign argues "Protected interests of the landed gentry have NO place in today's socially and culturally diverse Britain. We must get rid of these outdated rights." In this we should follow the example of the Scottish parliament which abolished such rights in 2000. There is a petition. http://manorialrights.org/blog/2014/02/04/sign-petition-end-manorial-rights… As I have said before - an appropriate resolution to this crisis, given the fact that are betters have surrendered to the oil and gas industry, would be for communities to take responsibility for the protection of soil, water and atmosphere - with a deliberative and democratic process deciding how sensitive and precious ecological "resources" are used to ensure that the interests of all, including other species in a healthy eco-system, are maintained. http://wealthofthecommons.org/ -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/

Fwd: [CommonGood] Starting the Common Good Newsgroup: International debate on the Common Good
by Michel Bauwens 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Schepers, Norbert <schepers(a)rosalux.de> Date: Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 11:14 AM Subject: [CommonGood] Starting the Common Good Newsgroup: International debate on the Common Good To: Common Good Newsgroup <commongood(a)listi.jpberlin.de> Dear Colleagues and Friends, with this e-mail we invite you to participate in a newsgroup to discuss the subject of *Common Good* and to inform about the debates and the ongoing struggles on specific topics. *Common Good Newsgroup: International mailing list for the debate on the Common Good.* The diversity is obvious: In Latin America the Common Good is discussed within the context of the concept of Buen Vivir, in Europe the actual struggles against austerity-led politics of privatization and the dismantling of social standards are in the focus as well as positive actions for water as common good - while in South-East Asia the Subject is *the right to life and a life of dignity*. The concept of the Common Good of Humanity respects the diversity of struggles and debates and intends to develop a new post-capitalist paradigm. *The various dimensions of the concept of Common Good* (by François Houtart): The notion of Common Good has known lately a new interest. For some it is the renewal of an old idea and the opportunity of giving to conservative forces of society the appearance of a modern approach. For others it is a way of coming out of a stereotyped vocabulary used by revolutionary movements and to propose a more acceptable way of expression. It may also be related with a radical criticism of the concept of modernity transmitted by capitalism and not challenged by real socialism. In order to develop this late conception, it is important to indicate three levels of its semantic utilization: Common Goods, Common Good and Common Good of Humanity. The struggle for *Common Goods* is related with the history of capitalism. In England, the "enclosure" of the common lands has been one of the main origins of the capitalist system. To reduce the "commons" and to transform them in private property was the beginning of a process of accumulation. Common lands were considered as wasted lands. Land reforms like the ones of China and Vietnam have restored this notion, with the socialization of land. Today, neo-liberalism all over the world has reduced the social conquests of more than a century, among them the organization of public services, social security and popular education, creating new forms of poverty. Struggles to restrain such a trend and to reorganize areas of solidarity, have been developed among social movements: labour, peasants, women, indigenous peoples. In Latin America post-neoliberal governments have reestablished or increased programmes against poverty, better access to health and education, social insurances, development of formal labour, public investments. One aspect of the action has been the claim for a universal allowance. However two main philosophies are at the base of such a proposal. The first one is individualistic: the right of any individual too chose to work or not to work and still to exist. It is sometimes backed by a modern capitalism, understanding that the reduction of poverty is an efficient way of increasing the base of the market and that too big social distances are dangerous for the social order. Hence the notion of equity developed by John Rawls. The second one has a social approach, based on solidarity and aiming at reducing the inequalities, in order to promote the capacities of all human beings to contribute to general well being. This perspective is not compatible with an economic system giving priority to the exchange value aimed at capital accumulation and acting in the short time. On the contrary, it is based on the priority of use value, which includes other aspects than the market profit and adopts a long term vision for the relations between human beings and nature (equilibrium of metabolism). The second dimension is the idea of *Common Good*. Developed already by Aristotle, it covers all what is necessary for the collective live of a society: norms of common living and social behaviours, inter-communication, public spaces, peace and security, harmony, all what transcends the purely individual interests. Thomas of Aquino, influenced by the Greek philosopher, made of the concept of Common Good the base of the social ethics for Christians living at the turn of the medieval societies and at the early beginning of market's urban economies. It became the backbone of the Social Doctrine of most of the Christian Churches, especially in the Catholic Church, with Leo XIII (neo-thomism). This appeared as a good answer to socialism and even more to marxism, while still condemning the injustices of the capitalist economy ("salvage capitalism" as qualified by John Paul II). Indeed the achievement of Common Good was envisaged on a moral base, thanks to the collaboration of all social groups. Such a position allowed an analysis of the capitalist societies, not in terms of social classes structurally linked by contradictory interests, but in terms of social strata called to build together the society. It had the advantage of negating the notion of class struggle, as a tool of analysis and as a means of action and it confirmed the role of the Church as a moral instance. Politically it bought about Christian Democracy. In the present situation of crisis, the concept of *Common Good* has known a new life. It is used by the struggles to restore public services. It became part of the discourse of neo-keynesians rightly afraid of the consequences of the economic turmoil. Post-neoliberal Governments in Latin America use the word to justify their political practices. International organizations like UNCTAD speak about "global common good". Surely there is nothing wrong in emphasizing this concept, and in a short time it may be useful to alleviate the fate of million of people. However it should not serve as an argument to reproduce the existing economic system, with some improvements. This is why the notion of *Common Good of Humanity* (Birgit Daiber and François Houtart, *A postcapitalist paradigm: the Common Good of Humanity*, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Brussels, 2012) is proposed as a new paradigm (fundamental orientation) of the collective life of Humanity on the planet. It means the possibility of creating, reproducing and bettering life on earth. This is proposed not in an idealistic platonic view, neither in the tradition of utopian socialism, but in response to a system destructing the earth and having adopted a sacrificial economy able to eliminate entire social groups in name of progress. It is a radical critic of the kind of modernity transmitted by the logic of the market and not completely abandoned by the socialist experiences. Concretely, it means to transform the four "fundamentals" of any society: relations with nature; production of the material base of all life, physical, cultural, spiritual; collective social and political organization and culture. For the first one the transformation means to pass from the exploitation of nature as a natural resource (merchandize) to the respect of nature as the source of life. For the second one: to privilege use value rather than exchange value, with all the consequences on the concept of property. The third one implies the generalization of democratic practices in all social relations and all institutions and finally interculturality means to put an end to the hegemony of Western culture for the reading of the reality and the construction of the social ethics. Elements of this new paradigm, post-capitalist, are already present all over the world, in many social movements and popular initiatives. Theoretical developments are also produced. So, it is not a "utopian vision" in the pejorative sense of the word. But an aim is necessary to organize the convergences of action. It is a long term process which will ask the adoption of transitions, facing the strength of an economic system ready to destroy the world before disappearing. It means also that the structural concept of class struggle is not antiquated (fiscal heavens and bank secrecy are some of its instruments). Social protests, resistances, building of new experiences are sources of real hope. The concept of Common Good of Humanity is not in opposition to the notions of Common Goods or of Common Good. It helps to give an orientation to the concrete actions of both of them and therefore it adds a meaning and a coherence for a fundamental transformation. *Promoting the social commons *(by Francine Mestrum) All major international development organisations, from the World Bank over the ILO and the European Commission, plan to promote social protection in all developing countries. This may seem bizarre, since, at the same time, social protection mechanisms are being dismantled in the region where they first came about: Western Europe and Scandinavia. It is important to know, then, that words do not have the same meaning for all, and the 'social protection' of the World Bank is not the same as 'social protection', let us say in Sweden. In other words, there are no 'welfare states' emerging in Africa. But these plans are now being implemented and social movements have largely been absent from the debates. Where are the alternatives? What can we do to avoid social protection being at the service of markets? In today's world, more than one billion people are extremely poor, almost half of the world's population is just poor, and inequality is soaring. In many parts of the world, wages and labour conditions are particularly bad, and social services are hardly available. This means we do need social protection, though we should be prepared to re-think the formulas that were invented a century ago. Political, economic and social circumstances are now very different from what they were after the second world war, and no country can find solutions and implement them efficiently on its own. Popular demands have also changed. We should be looking, then, for a new paradigm that offers economic and social security for all. We may think in the direction of 'social commons', since the needs of people, wherever they live and in whatever political or economic regime, are all the same. We might find divergent solutions, but there will always be common characteristics. 'Social commons' aim at achieving a common good, a situation in which people are free, equal and emancipated, in a world based on human rights and solidarity. *Read more :* François Houtart, The Common Good of Humanity - Basic Text in six languages: http://rosalux-europa.info/publications/articles/common_good_of_humanity Francine Mestrum, Promoting the Social Commons : http://www.globaljustice.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46… Tommaso Fattori, The European Citizens' Initiative on Water and 'Austeritarian' Post-Democracy : www.transform-network.net/journal/issue-122013.html With very best wishes, Yours Birgit Daiber, François Houtart, Francine Mestrum, Norbert Schepers Brussels, Quito, Ginostra, Bremen, March 9, 2014 PS. *Important note on membership in this mailing list and how to use it:* Your address has been added to this mailing list by one of the hosting persons because it appeared to us that You would be deeply interested in participating.

In this framework they also, in collaboration with MayFirst/People Link provide server space for floss distance education software BigBlueButton (BBB) for the use of their members as well as grassroots activist. BBB allows -if there is a date space enough to handle the traffic- teleconferencing for infinite number of participants with video and audio connection. This means, if well organised, mass self-organising and education platform for workers and activists would work efficiently. BBB also allows users to record their meetings, use screen sharing, power point presentation, file sharing, multi lingual chat so on during the conferences. If the new technology being developed now for online simultaneous interpretation system also incorporated to this platform, can' t see any reason for this project not becoming a mesh network pulling many transnational labour an justice activists into it take part and use it to organise globally. there are already several active work groups created on USi's ON, can be seen here: https://on.usilive.org/groups/all O. _______________________________________________ NetworkedLabour mailing list NetworkedLabour(a)lists.contrast.org http://lists.contrast.org/mailman/listinfo/networkedlabour -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
