[P2P-F] ConFLOKt resolution

[willi uebelherr]

Dear Orsan,

i thank you very much for this statement. It is realy important that we 
bring the people of the different laguage spaces together.

"I agree with previous comments and counter comments, on that one of the 
most important political lesson that one can get from such a debate 
would be about the state - p2p encounter. This of course is separate 
from the role of classes, class formations and struggles, capitalist or 
ruling class strategies, and counter class strategies, the workers', 
farmers, hackers, commoners position in all these experimental 
relations, like the role and position of workers - knowledge producers 
in a mixed collaborative horizontal and vertical relationship to state 
and capital goes on."

I think also, that this question is the center of our trouble in the 
discussion. And the lines don't go between FLOK management and Michel 
and his friends. In this question i have a big conflict with Gordon. The 
result was, he never want to get a mail from me.

But for our commom future we have to discuss our relation to the state 
in general. For me, if i read the papers from Flok, immediatly i know 
that never it can work. Our discussion trouble come from some illusions 
of transformation a real society with state institutions.

You can see it in our europe and asia history, also in Cuba, Venezuela 
and Nicaragua.

many greetings, willi

It is sad because seems like sides are open to debate so we could also learn more, but some practical difficulties makes things worse. Therefore I have below modest and humble suggestions to all the sides involved in this conflict, (would appreciate if any one on both lists could pass it to the Es list as well);

The first email of Michel, was to this EN list, Spanish list and may be one other. Then some people responded in the Spanish list  -I am guessing because I am not on that list, and cant read Es- and some to EN list, but all without CC.ing to the other two lists. Then disussion got devided and as far as I understand Xabier, Daniel, Bernardo, and some others involved and mentioned are not in the EN list. I think this would only put oil on the fire and we don't want that. This might be the reson behind many confusions, like Gordon asking why people from Ecuador not responding, may be they are/were on the Es list.

If we could manage to turn this entire discussion from the very self-destructive point we are at now, then may be we could manage to turn it into a rich learning experience.

But if any one personally or publicly going to do that, he or she had better to do it with delivering as perfect as possible theoretical and hard framework and evidence, other wise whoever does it can only damages his / herself in the age of networks.

Otherwise I don't see how would it be useful and wonder if it would worth to effort for that.
