[P2P-F] [NetworkedLabour] a short response to queries about the p2p'f workings in WSF

Wed Aug 17 13:16:44 CEST 2016

I accept that communication wise this is absurd not heathy etc. but the politics of you guys has been performing since 2007-2008 crises taking the world down, driving me crazy. TNI, CEO, you, your power network, European Left, .. while you guys are talking about 'new politics' 'new economy', 'new system', commons, p2p all the time, hypocritically your daily life and real world is ruled by old economics, old politics, old system; trying to capture commanding heights of the movements; harvesting most prominent activists from the new movements; all same shit.. Have been waiting for almost 10 years to see any small sign... There is almost no sign of new culture or prefiguration, negative. 

I told others just before that I don't keep doing this; nor wait for any self-critical p2pish response, nor any meaningful contribution to positive social change anymore, nothing else then increasing quality in your own social environment and social relations which would be measured best with 'old value' systems. I just resigned from networked labour list admin, and leaving these list subscriptions as well. In few years time reality will talk for itself. Since then I expect radical change coming from out of these circles; which actually sucks all the energy of the people that are really doing somethings hard to make the world better place. Not in paper or speeches, of people who doesn't wants anything else then to be famous and economically okay. 

Good luck.

And if you go down like this with hitting under belly, and with such disgusting lies, showing your real face, I would only hit back with reality and it would only be worse for you. Everyone who knows and watches you would feel this sneaky tone, for what life style you chose, and who would actually be bagging for something material from people. I am not like any others you discussed before in this tone publicly, and against all I defended you to some extent in the past. I would be careful if I were you.

This came at a very difficult moment for me, and did not go down well ... it was one thing to make sacrifices for some thing you believe in, it is quite another to get no recognition and even awful and unsupported allegations from some one you are trying to help... regular asphyxiating cough did not make it easier .. I can assure the people that the kind of accusations I got were several degrees more severe than what Orsan is accusing people in this list of ..

What I do address from the beginning is the structural dynamical, political and ideological forces that are several steps ahead. And If there is any one (else then myself - since I know my self better then anyone else) I can trust in the capacity and creativity of being able to see the whole (also enemy grand strategy) and generate reversal perspective, that would have been you. But the networks you encounter, or chose to involve and engage, have put me in doubt several times about your genuine intention.

My doubt has been simply between if you, and others do what you or they do simply for your or their own gains or really for the objectives you or they claim to commit. This doubt is hard to proof but is totally different then what you suggest me to have about you / or others. That is why I would always read your (and others' work) writings, and benefit from them fully; but more then before I would prefer to stay in distance from any organic tie with you, thus the foundation, as I wouldn't with TNI, or similar NGOs, or trade unions, or political parties; where people are experts of appearing idealist and committed to cause while all they do best is to work for themselves as prior and promote them as good.
