Mark: You and your compatriots on P2P view the world from revisionism. Go ahead and keep looking through your microscope-provided by your "teachers." Or take the time and read some very old documented evidence available at a library near you= but you may need to stay there awhile on microfiche. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Janssen Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 4:39 PM To: P2P Foundation mailing list Subject: Re: [P2P-F] Fw: Info On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Natalie Golovin <10natalie(a)cox.net> wrote: > The European Tribes treated the Natives no worse than they treated each > other. Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

A Global New Deal For The Commons:
by Michel Bauwens 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

HERE IS JOSEPH CEDERWALL'S PROPOSAL: A Global New Deal For The Commons: https://thedig.nz/editorial/hope-for-nature-a-new-deal-for-the-commons/? I propose that what humanity and the planet desperately needs is a Global New Deal For The Commons. Such a deal would require a global mobilisation to ensure that the natural and cultural commons are protected and sustainable biodiversity-friendly and cooperatist land-use is adopted. If structured right, such a deal would have a massive impact towards restoring the planetary ecosystem and biodiversity, as well as healing deprived and hopeless communities everywhere in the process. To truly turn the biodiversity and climate crises around, this new deal needs to happen at least on a scale of wartime efforts such as the Marshall Plan of WWII or the New Deal of the Depression-era. As Rutger Bregman argues, centralised state action will be essential to any realistic efforts to drive an environmental effort on the scale required. However, I am less cynical than Bregman about the power of bottom-up efforts, and believe a properly balanced combination of the two is essential. A biodiversity-focused investment on this scale could combine central investment with an approach focused on catalysing, fostering, and scaling bottom-up land-use initiatives and ideas. It could prioritise local communities as workforces and support the emergence of ground-up, decentralised solutions and initiatives over centrally imposed or market-based solutions wherever possible. Such a new deal for the commons would require associated work on reforming land tenure and local democratic and economic institutions on a scale not attempted since the communist project. However, rather than the top-down command and control approach of communism, it would provide a framework, resources and tools for communities to re-learn how to live harmoniously with each other and with nature’s abundance. This approach could spread knowledge, technology and best practice for environmental restoration globally through open sourcing IP and implementing solidarity networks or networks of mutual aid across society. This new deal would also require real action on the national and global level to reform global governance and regulation and build a more just international order and institutions. This would require new agreements such as an international law of “ecocide,” and strengthened international environmental laws and enforcement mechanisms to ensure the compliance of corporations and rogue imperialist nations. This new order would also need to address debt-enslavement, eternal growth imperatives, and rebalance global wealth disparity to stop wealthy nations from shifting the impacts of growth onto vulnerable populations and ecosystems. However, crucially, to bring about this new order, we must find ways to continue challenging the narrow confines of permitted thought and debate keeping us locked in the destructive dominion paradigm. It would need to restore the rule of law and ensure the protection of whistleblowers, journalists, activists and politicians challenging this narrative. If not, who will hold power accountable for their inaction or blocking of real progress? Who will continue to tell the stories and defend the rights of those on the margins building the alternative futures discussed above?" -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

We are writing today to announce that we are publicly launching the first version of our DisCO Manifesto <https://disco.coop/2019/11/you-say-decentralized-i-say-potato-the-disco-man…> . You are receiving this email because you contributed to this document, or expressed an interest in reading it. As a reminder, DisCO stands for Distributed Cooperative Organization. We see a DisCO as a way for people to work and create value together that's cooperative, creates commons and is based on feminist economic principles. Most of all, they're a more human yet also radical alternative to the DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization <https://blockchainhub.net/dao-decentralized-autonomous-organization/>, which has different priorities and potential outcomes, to say the least. Want to find out more? Then check out The DisCO Manifesto. Download here <https://disco.coop/manifesto/> If I Only Had a Heart: a DisCO Manifesto is our deep dive into the worlds of the blockchain, commons, cooperatives, AI, feminist economics and so much more! It's 80 pages long, adorned with amazing images, and will take you about an hour to read straight through. We hope that the text is engaging, lively and easy to read. You can download the manifesto on PDF from this page <https://disco.coop/manifesto/> (more versions coming soon), or you can read our press release here <https://disco.coop/2019/11/you-say-decentralized-i-say-potato-the-disco-man…> . Share it! Co-published with the Transnational Institute <https://www.tni.org/> (TNI), the Manifesto is the culmination of our work with the P2P Foundation <https://p2pfoundation.net/>, Commons Transition <https://primer.commonstransition.org/>, Guerrilla Translation <https://www.guerrillatranslation.org/> and Guerrilla Media Collective <https://wiki.guerrillamediacollective.org/index.php/Main_Page> groups. It extends concepts such as Platform and Open Cooperativism <http://commonstransition.org/from-platform-to-open-cooperativism/> into new, exciting areas. We want to reach everyone who could benefit from these ideas, will you help us out? We invite you to: - Resend this email to anyone who you think will be interested - Share any of the links above in Social Media - Recommended hashtags: #DiscoCoop, #coops, #platformcoop, #feminism, #commons, #p2p, #blockchain, #DAOs - Contact us at hello(a)disco.coop or reply to this email to share your feedback or ideas with us.

Fwd: What makes community food enterprises thrive? Our latest report is out!
by Michel Bauwens 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Open Food Network Australia <hello(a)openfoodnetwork.org.au> Date: Thu, Nov 7, 2019 at 8:23 AM Subject: What makes community food enterprises thrive? Our latest report is out! To: <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> Community food enterprise report, Grant help, Building the Commons, Local food to buy, and more. View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/9a21c5d9a1d6/what-makes-community-food-enterprises-thriv…> Hi there! This month has felt like an intense knowledge exchange month for Open Food Network - we've been out listening and talking about food systems at all sorts of events. Ranging from the Planning Institute's annual conference (where we spoke about food system planning) to the GrAiNZ Conference (where we heard about A LOT of exciting ideas), to the ORICoop AGM (where we spoke about our international work) and more - read on for reflections from some of these events. We've also been busy finalising research reports, with the first released right now, in this very newsletter! *Community Food Enterprises report released* <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> We're excited to share our latest report with you: *Community Food Enterprises - Their role in food system change, opportunities, challenges and support needs* <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> . It brings together our lessons from running food system activation and community food enterprise incubator programs for the last five years. We've identified common challenges facing community food enterprises in Australia, plus five critical success factors. We've also highlighted what enterprises, government, and philanthropy can do to create thriving community food enterprises. This report is for anyone running a community food enterprise, and any agency that wants to see a vibrant regional food economy in their area. *Download the report <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…>* *Building regional food systems* We're working on two exciting regional food systems development projects at the moment, one in Seymour, and the other in North-East Victoria. Each project culminates in an event next year, but first involves a regional consultation. In Seymour, we're interviewing as many farmers and food distributors as possible to help uncover regional strengths and opportunities. In the North-East we're collaborating with Landcare to run a number of workshops leading up to the main event. If you're producing or distributing food in either of those regions, we'd love to have you included. We'll share details of the North-East workshops on social media and in this newsletter. And if you're in the Seymour region, please fill in this form <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> so we can get in touch. These projects receive funding from the Australian Government's Building Better Regions Fund. *Grants in Victoria - we can help* <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> The Victorian Government has released new grants for ‘small scale and craft’ agricultural businesses. (These are the latest version of the ‘Artisanal Agriculture’ grants.) We know how flat out you are, so we’ve summarised the key information for you, and outlined some ways we might be able to help you with them. Find out more. <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> *Building peer-to-peer alternatives* In the last year, we’ve been realising that *how* we work at the Open Food Network is in fact one of the most important things that we’re creating, as we go about the task of building a better food system. Recent discussions with other thinkers in this space at a Global Commons Forum in Korea affirmed this idea, and gave us new ideas to ponder as we continue forward. Read some of our reflections <https://openfoodnetwork.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6752bbf142dc0ebe…> from the forum on the value of building community for the commons. *Find local food to buy* Every week there are new shops on the Open Food Network. These are just a few that are open for orders right now!
