[P2P-F] How the 'ecosystem' myth has been used for sinister means

[Michel Bauwens]

it's great to tease out the right-libertarian influences on cyber-systems
and culture, these are very real, but it's only part of the story, while
Randian philosophy focuses on a minority of heroes in a mass of sheep;
others have wanted to help all sheep; in other words, cyberculture is
equally influenced by egalitarian dreams, not just elitist ones ...
