[P2P-F] is p2p akin to anarchism

[Michel Bauwens]

Marvin Brown's http://p2pfoundation.net/Civilizing_the_Economy is also a
sustained attempt to think beyond the primacy of property rigths,

regarding basic income not necessarily requiring centralization, here is a
system used by envangelicals (unfortunately discriminating regarding sexual
orientation) that does seem to be able to distribute finance without
recourse to a centralized administration, see
http://p2pfoundation.net/Health-Care-Sharing_Ministries

(Kat, just in case, any clarification on the above from the point of view of
'sabbath economics' could be useful)

I also personally broadly agree that any p2p approach needs to 'transcend
and include' a number of advantages of both market-based and non-market
based (like socialism) approaches,

Therefore, though we should honour historical attempts at human emancipation
by previous social movements, an equation between p2p and anarchism is not
advisabler

Thanks for the pangaia link on the topic, I will explore
