Michel Bauwens, the presenter of this talk at Occupy London, says:

To succeed in social change, you need 3 things.

A genuine mass movement. As the first native movement and great hope of the
digital age that is what #ows (Occupy Wall Street) is all about

Concrete alternatives that can change our lives and allow us to live our
values right now. This is what commons-based peer production provides – a
new way of producing value

The ability to be able to stop bad policies, and propose new ones that
allow alternatives to survive and thrive, for which we need true democratic
processes

A ‘commons’ rather than ‘market state’ orientation is a fruitful way to
think about solving humanity’s problems in a new way.

Michel Bauwens is founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives ,
a global collaborative researching peer production that maps the thousands
of p2p projects being created to achieve mutual alignment and a growing
counter economy that can co-exist and perhaps even supersede the today’s
dysfunctional one. He is also an Advisor of the School of Commoning, and
partner of the Commons Strategies Group that seeks to seed conversations
around the new commons paradigm.
