From the Communism of Capital to a Capital for the Commons
by Michel Bauwens 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

I believe this is an important and crucial intervention for social change: Michel Bauwens: The labor/p2p/commons movements today are faced with a paradox. [image: Michel Bauwens]<http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/Michel-Bauwens.jpg> Michel Bauwens On the one hand we have a re-emergence of the cooperative movement and worked-owned enterprises, but they suffer from structural weaknesses. Cooperative entities work for their own members, are reluctant to accept new cooperators that would share existing profits and benefits, and are practitioners of the same proprietary knowledge and artificial scarcities as their capitalist counterparts. Even though they are internally democratic, they often participate in the same dynamics of capitalist competition which undermines their own cooperative values. On the other hand, we have an emergent field of open and commons-oriented peer production in fields such as free software, open design and open hardware, which do create common pools of knowledge for the whole of humanity, but at the same time, are dominated by both start-ups and large multinational enterprises using the same commons. Thus, we need a new convergence or synthesis, a 'open cooperativism', that combines both commons-oriented open peer production models, with common ownership and governance models such as those of the cooperatives and the solidarity economic models. What follows is a more detailed argument on how such transition could be achieved. *The Main Argument* Today we have a paradox, the more communistic the sharing license we use in the peer production of free software or open hardware, the more capitalistic the practice, with for example the Linux commons becoming a corporate commons enriching IBM and the like ... it works in a certain way, and seems acceptable to most free software developers, but is it the only way? Indeed, the General Public License and its variants, allow anyone to use and modify the software code (or design), as long as the changes are also put back in the common pool under the same conditions for further users. This is in fact technically 'communism' as defined by Marx: from each according to his abilities, to each according to their needs, but which then paradoxically allows multinationals to use the free software code for profit and capital accumulation. The result is that we do have an accumulation of immaterial commons, based on open input, participatory process, and commons-oriented output, but that it is subsumed to capital accumulation. It is at present not possible, or not easy, to have social reproduction (i.e. livelihoods) within the sphere of the commons. Hence the free software and culture movements, however important they are as new social forces and expression new social demands, are also in essence 'liberal'. This is not only acknowledged by its leaders such as Richard Stallman, but also by anthropological studies like those of Gabriella Coleman. Not so tongue-in-cheek we could say they are liberal-communist and communist-liberal movements, which create a 'communism of capital'. Is there an alternative ? We believe there is, and this would be to replace non-reciprocal licenses, i.e. they do not demand a direct reciprocity from its users, to one based on reciprocity. Call it a switch from 'communist', to 'socialist' licenses'. This is the choice of the Peer Production License<http://p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License> as designed and proposed by Dmytri Kleiner; it is not to be confused with the Creative Commons non commercial license, as the logic is different. The logic of the CC-NC is to offer protection to individuals reluctant to share, as they do not wish a commercialization of their work that would not reward them for their labor. Thus the Creative Commons 'non-commercial' license stops the further economic development based on this open and shared knowledge, and keeps it entirely in the not-for-profit sphere. [image: dmytri_kleiner2]<http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/dmytri_kleiner2.jpg> Dmytri Kleiner The logic of the PPL is to allow commercialization, but on the basis of a demand for reciprocity. It is designed to enable and empower a counter-hegemonic reciprocal economy that combines commons that are open to all that contribute, while charging a license fee for the the for-profit companies who want to use without contributing. Not that much changes for the multinationals in practice, they can still use the code if they contribute, as IBM does with Linux, and for those who don't , they would pay a license fee, a practice they are used to. It's practical effect would be to direct a stream of income from capital to the commons, but its main effect would be ideological, or if you like, value-driven. The entrepreneurial coalitions that are linked around a PPL commons would be explicitly oriented towards their contributions to the commons, and the alternative value system that it represents. From the point of view of the peer producers or commoners, i.e. the communities of contributors to the common pool, it would allow them to create their own cooperative entities, in which profit would be subsumed to the social goal of sustaining the commons and the commoners. Even the participating for-profit companies would consciously contribute under a new logic. It links the commons to a entrepreneurial coalition of ethical market entities (coops and other models) and keeps the surplus value entirely within the sphere of commoners/cooperators instead of leaking out to the multinationals. In other words, through this convergence or rather combination of a commons model for the abundant immaterial resources, and a reciprocity-based model for the 'scarce' material resources, the issue of livelihoods and social reproduction would be solved, and surplus value is kept inside the commons sphere itself. It is the cooperatives that would, through their cooperative accumulation, fund the production of immaterial commons, because they would pay and reward the peer producers associated with them. In this way, peer production would move from a proto-mode of production, unable to perpetuate itself on its own outside capitalism, to a autonomous and real mode of production. It creates a counter-economy that can be the basis for reconstituting a 'counter-hegemony' with a for-benefit circulation of value, which allied to pro-commons social movements, could be the basis of the political and social transformation of the political economy. Hence we move from a situation in which the communism of capital is dominant, to a situation in which we have a 'capital for the commons', increasingly insuring the self-reproduction of the peer production mode. The PPL is used experimentally by Guerrilla Translation! and is being discussed in various places, such as for example, in France, in the open agricultural machining and design communities. [image: PeerProduction]<http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/PeerProduction2.png> There is also a specific potential, inside the commons-oriented ethical economy, such as the application of open book accounting and open supply chains, would allow a different value circulation, whereby the stigmergic mutual coordination that already works at scale for immaterial cooperation and production, would move to the coordination of physical production, creating post-market dynamics of allocation in the physical sphere. Replacing both the market allocation through the price signal, and central planning, this new system of material production would allow for massive mutual coordination instead, enabling a new form of 'resource-based economics' Finally, this whole system can be strengthened by creating commons-based venture funding, so as to create material commons, as proposed by Dmytri Kleiner. In this way, the machine park itself is taken out of the sphere of capital accumulation. In this proposed system, cooperatives needing capital for machinery, would post a bond, and the other coops in the system would fund the bond, and buy the machine for a commons in which both funders and users would be members. The interest paid on these loans would create a fund that would gradually be able to pay an increasing income to their members, constituting a new kind of basis income. The new open cooperativism is substantially different from the older form. In the older form, internal economic democracy is accompanied by participation in market dynamics on behalf of the members, using capitalist competition. Hence a unwillingness to share profits and benefits with outsiders. There is no creation of the commons. We need a different model in which the cooperatives produce commons, and are statutorily oriented towards the creation of the common good, with multi-stakeholders forms of governance which include workers, users-consumers, investors and the concerned communities. Today we have a paradox that open communities of peer producers are oriented towards the start-up model and are subsumed to the profit model, while the cooperatives remain closed, use IP, and do not create commons. In the new model of open cooperativism, a merger should occur between the open peer production of commons, and the cooperative production of value. The new open cooperativism integrates externalities, practices economic democracy, produces commons for the common good, and socializes its knowledge. The circulation of the common is combined with the process of cooperative accumulation, on behalf of the commons and its contributors. In the beginning, the immaterial commons field, following the logic of free contributions and universal use for everyone who needs it, would co-exist with a cooperative model for physical production, based on reciprocity. But as the cooperative model becomes more and more hyper-productive and is able to create sustainable abundance in material goods, the two logics would merge. http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/from-the-communism-of-capital-to-a-capital-fo… -- *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: [Networkedlabour] Erdogans' twitter ban

Gulen Movement has been instrumental for the Western imperialism, linked to anti-communist underground networks organised by Gladio in 70s and the 80s. The cult got upgraded in the 90s in order to impose neoliberal soft-Islamic regimes surrounding Russia, India and China belt, with instalment of controlled regimes, most notable example has been Malaysia. Gulen cult formed a coalition with reformist Milli Gorus members, those who had ties to Muslim Brothers active in Arab countries. In Turkey, this coalition supported by left-right liberals during the first half of the 2000s in order brake down the ancient regime or old-boys elite network controlled by another coalition or historical block composed of military-bureaucratic elite and capitalist hierarchy under the leadership of the Koc family. 2007-2008 crisis, made a demarcating effect on these kind of coalitions putting global geopolitics in stress. In a many national context, located in the new imperial frontiers like North Africa, inner Asia, Asia-Pacific and Latin America sides involved in similar coalitions had to turn and fight each other using the parts of state apparatus as it has happened in Turkey; bringing state vs. state, deep state fighting against parallel and surface-real (e)states. The scene has globally and increasingly represented a Cold war 2.0 mess, thought with one crucial difference. Capitalistic tools like Facebook and Twitter, although themselves are taking part in this new cold war, they have provided a much wider public and open space in which the dark side and the dirty clothes of all kinds of elite fractions composing the ruling classes, 1%, including Facebook, Twitter and Google owners themselves. Social opposition of any type were provided with tools globally to train themselves in online organising, developing creative distributed revolts that send feed backs contributing in learning process towards building of a global manoeuvre war against the rulers of the global capitalism. So this last open counter offence coming from Erdogan, is not challenging its local rivals for political power, it is clearly a transnational class act being part of a global chess game played harsher on the imperial frontiers. It might either add to the tensions increasing between Russia and China and the West pushing towards corrective inter elite war, or spark the public launch of the worldwide class war between the rulers and the ruled. Comparing the compact fuse state of the %1 -capitalists and rulers ready to eat each other, and diffused and distributed state of %99 -the ruled and oppressed multitude sectors all seek channels and protocols to build a genuine and worldwide solidarity, it gets difficult to hope for the latter. _______________________________________________ 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/

Fwd: Paracity Article
by Michel Bauwens 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eric Hunting <erichunting(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 12:20 PM Subject: Paracity Article To: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> Here's my attempt at a short article introducing the Paracity project. Let me know if you think it's useful. Eric Hunting erichunting(a)gmail.com Paracity -- An Urban Organism http://casagrandetext.blogspot.fi/2014/03/paracity.html Paracity is a new project of Marco Casagrande which promises to be one of the first full scale demonstrations of a practical peer-to-peer urbanism. Taking advantage of a unique situation on the Danshui River Island in Taipei, Paracity explores a notion of positive urban parasitism, using a novel, freely adaptive, modular, volumetric structural skeleton serving as an urban 'backplane' that can subsume otherwise neglected/devalued urban environments, in this particular case an area prone to frequent flooding. Based on a fairly large span cubic structural grid made of cross-laminated timber, this backplane accommodates adaptation and habitation by retrofit, allowing for several possible tiers of social participation in the habitat from the high-level peer-managed deployment of the backplane structure and its key infrastructure elements to the more spontaneous and personalized retrofit deployment of individual dwellings, industry, and commerce. Here we see a totally evolvable urban habitat able to almost spontaneously accommodate any potential change in situation, environmental conditions, urban and domestic technology, and baseline standard of living without the strife associated with an anachronistic presumption of architectural permanence leading to ready obsolescence. This is 'city' as a verb. A freely evolvable urban organism with a declared evolutionary imperative of transitioning older urban habitats toward sustainable integration with the natural environment. A Post-Industrial habitat growing on the compost of Industrial Age urbanism. I find this project concept quite exciting because it incorporates many concepts I have been proposing and exploring for a long time. This is an urban development concept based on truly 21st century sensibilities, questioning the dominant presumptions about property, space, the role of architecture, and the role of inhabitants as creators and managers of their own habitat that characterize the inherent dysfunctions of contemporary cities. I have always wondered why cities are not designed with the practical sensibility of the network/data center--with a recognition of the simple reality that they persist as an application--an activity--in a constantly changing medium of hardware and technology. We are no longer limited by primitive construction technology with no means to adapt. Why then are cities commonly, physically, designed to dogmatically resist the constant evolution that is their very life-blood? It is this very resistance that is the root of their dysfunctions. The modern city is not a collection of architecture. It is not a physical thing. It is an epiphenomenon. An attractor to an emergent form, like consciousness is to the brain and like an operating system is to a cluster of computers. Paracity's architecture is most interesting in how it lays bare this paradigm. One might accuse it of being, superficially, a throw-back to the 'plug in' architecture of the '60s, and perhaps this is one of the reasons for a choice of a more organic primary structural material rather than the steel frame and concrete systems of the past. But it is more like one of those transparent 'visible body' models that turns our perspective inside-out by bringing its urban backplane out into the open as an overt, visible, architectural feature to be embraced for its bounty of adaptive use possibilities. This habitat revels in its nakedness and its perpetually unfinished state. The personal computer ran into an evolutionary rut at the time when it had the most diversity of systems architectures, their very deliberate and often pointless incompatibilities wielded like clubs by corporate interests vying for monopolistic control of market share. It was the old Industrial Age mindset abusing a Post-Industrial technology with its quaint notions of value and fuddy-duddy ideas about how money is supposed to be made. The industry had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the realization that market share was, in fact, keyed to interoperability rather than propriety. That the personal computer existed in a non-zero-sum ecology and made more profit the more you shared and cooperated. Today we have but a few, mostly open, mainstream personal computer architectures and more physical diversity in design, a more rapid pace of advance, and greater potential for personalization and customization than was ever imagined possible in the late 1970s and early '80s. Relegated to an upper tier of peer organization largely independent of the individual human-scale retrofit use, the modular backplane of Paracity is not so much an overarching architectural scheme as it is a genome in which an unlimited number of urban situations can be 'sequenced', expressed, and evolved. It imposes order and standardization to facilitate its ease of use and change, but doesn't impose any individual designer's ego over the aesthetic of the habitat. It is not megalomaniaclemegabuild. It's Lego. If realized, I think Paracity has the potential to be a breakthrough on many fronts. The community planned for Taipei promises to be a great opportunity for exploring peer-to-peer urbanism and the cultivation of a Post-Industrial culture rooted in the new technologies of alternative energy, sustainable resource use, urban farming, and independent production and economy. Being right in the midst of one of the world's most important and cosmopolitan cities, the catalytic potential is great. It could be an opportunity for people from around the world to converge on the experimentation and demonstration of a very new urban lifestyle without the hassles and hardships of retreating to the remote edge-of-wilderness locations so many intentional communities are relegated to. And it offers the prospect of creating a package of systems--a vernacular--that, like an urban version of OSE's Global Village Construction Set, can be freely disseminated through the medium of the internet and applied most anywhere. By virtue of the kind of technology used--the standardization and ready reproducibility and repurposing of this urban backplane--one could contribute to this project in many ways from anywhere in the world. This is most definitely a project to keep an eye on. -- *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/

Governments are beginning to act, with countries including the US, Canada, and Brazil having recently launched national strategies to tackle human trafficking and modern slavery. The UK’s draft Modern Slavery Bill is currently before Parliament. Yet, such initiatives do little to address the political economic drivers of these forms of exploitation, nor do they offer adequate protection. This seminar will bring together academics, policy-makers, and civil society figures to discuss and debate the political economy of exploitation and protection in the 21st Century, including the role of governments, business, and international organizations.
