As someone moving about, I can only concur there is an acceleration for us, as david said, both a p2p-theoretical camp, AND a growing audience, but especially a multitude of local intiatives everywhere I go, On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 2:57 AM, Robert Pye <[email protected]> wrote:
Michel,
The spooky spooky spooky thing is I've announced the exact same things to a number of Ethos networks recently. Almost (and I say this with quite a bit of hesitation) a sort of Singularity moment. For me the daohub.org reaching whateveritis $160M with still a week to go on a belief of the need for new governance and distributed orgs is a big shout in this direction also. And since then we have connected with Vint Cerf and many other luminaries. Lots of potential to bring big institutions with us e.g. UK's "department of work and pensions", BBC and Fujitsu. The list goes on.
It feels kinda exciting. Like it did for me in 1999. Not quite sure what's going to happen. But it something big. A network of networks collaborating, I hope!! Michel, the work you have done in this space is sooo valuable. I'm excited that it seems to be taking on a life of its own now.
Great stuff mate.

And just for the record. #today <https://twitter.com/hashtag/today?src=hash> is the day that I've gone public on this. At no other time during the past 16 years has the time been right

We completely agree!!
It is a nodal moment because this convergence, I guess, reflects a deepening concern in wide social sectors. In our case, we are experiencing since October's Somero a widening of our audience and a closer relation with other communities. Last week, in example, we had by first time in many years, more than 10.000 unique visitors in our blog in only a day, and the Communard Manifesto <https://lasindias.com/the-communard-manifesto> is spreading a lot faster than we thought: there are in example volunteers -we did not know before- translating it in Switzerland and Portugal to German and Portuguese languages.
So, we are sensing not only the appearance of a «P2P theoritical camp», but the emergence of a «P2P audience» probably product of the disenchanted with the political hopes hegemonic only a year ago between the majority of the activists in countries like Spain or Greece.
So, Michel, what comes now? How could we contribute?

AN IMPORTANT PIVOT MOMENT TOWARDS A THE EMERGENCE OF A COLLECTIVE ORGANIC INTELLECTUAL FOR THE COMMONS MOVEMENT
The above has always been the ambition of the P2P Foundation, and I believe this is now coalescing .. some signs
1) Las Indias has consolidated all its original insights in the just published Communard Manifesto (Steve Herrick <https://www.facebook.com/steveherrick>: you can perhaps let them know about this posting here as they are not on fb)
2) the last video by Dmytri Kleiner <https://www.facebook.com/dmytri.kleiner>, which I posted here, also shows a convergence towards this multi-modal approach (working for the strengthening of the new economy within the existing one) and has a very precise strategy and many innovative concepts
3) the critique by Alanna Krause <https://www.facebook.com/alannakrause> on the blockchain which I posited, along with the 'transvestment' practices, show that both the practice, and the theory, and the subjectivity of Enspiral is moving in the same direction
4) as for myself, I am working on a more theoretical book in which I'm aligning all our pasts insights following the overview of Kojin Karatini ..
I may be forgetting some other elements, but here we are, there is effectively, a collective organic intellectual at work, which is thinking through the strategies to be followed by the forces of the commons, in a way that may have been there in seed form, but is about to flower and .. THIS IS HUGELY IMPORTANT
I am not implying here of course that there are no differences between the approaches of these groups, but that they are moving broadly in the same direction .
At present, there are not any formal bridges between these groups, but there are occasional informal contacts, and the memes do seem to travel ..
With Dmytri Kleiner, we are discussing a 'Transvestment' conference in Berlin at the end of this year, no funding yet, this could be an occasion for these groups to enter into more coherent dialogue,
