[P2P-F] Fwd: [commoning] DIGITAL CAPITALISM AND UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

[George Pór]

I just wrote a post challenging the apologists of capitalism, which ends
with this sentence:
"It makes me wonder, whether the capitalist market can be replaced with a
commons-based one?"

It would be supercool if you'd comment on it here
