[P2P-F] FW: Blogpost: Applying the ICT Lessons of Revolt to the Institutional Challenges of Reconstruction: They overthrew Hosni Mubarek, Now Can They Overthrow Robert Michels?

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Pedro,

I follow Zeynep closely and we've covered this particular entry in our blog
as well,

these are if you will, the two sides of the same coin, and do not
necesseraly contradict each other,

Michael points out the real changes that took place through the use of these
media, and their further potential, while Zeynep points to the dangers  that
do not just come from outside, but from within the peer to peer dynamic
itself

from the blog,

but especially this:

Paul Hartzog also had a comment on this,

Michel
