The problem of course, is that we do not have such a state. and so the issue becomes, how do we deal with the existing state. I was just listening to a greek anarchist squatter movement leader (I think), who explained that they started with extreme hostility towards the state, but were generally defeated and now they seek agreements with both owners and state officials, and have been able to expand and maintain squats (not sure who it was, could only hear its voice, <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1710124239215992/?object_id=1710124239215992&event_action_source=48" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/1710124239215992/?object_id=1710124239215992&event_action_source=48</a>)</div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">The welfare state is of a twofold nature. It is a result of workers' struggles and, at the same time, a consolidation of state power over society and a cooptation of the dangerous social movements of the past by the power of capital. In retrospect, the welfare state has never functioned as a vehicle to overcome capitalism. Private or state property was not disputed. Workers' self management was actually never part of the project. It was a project to humanise capitalism and, noble as such, never exceeded this horizon. I would never say that a "partner state" to the commons would ever accede the welfare state. This argument has appeal for social democratic policy makers and might be useful for them to swallow the partner state and commons policies. But we are talking about something significantly different, a subversive project to empower society. And this empowerment will be at the cost of the social power of the capital - state complex. There will be no win - win situation here. We will be winning some stakes, if they will be losing those same stakes.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br clear="none"></div><div>agreed on the dual nature of the welfare state which incorporated the labour leadership in the bureaucratic state structures; yet the welfare state embedded great social progress, for example in the de-commodification of labour (pensions, social security mechanisms, unemployment support) . These can be commonified, but they can also be used as stepping stones. I wish our wiki was working as I could point you to the typology of anti-capitalist social struggle from erik olin wright (smashing capitalism, taming capitalism, escaping capitalism, eroding capitalism).</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Since I am sceptical of the first strategy, which I believe may be yours, I am much more oriented toward the latter and therefore don't see it as a win-lose game; i.e. I don't think every social advance can only be obtained through this strategy. My strategy would be to be systematically strenghten the capacities of post-capitalist commons production, until that time as the social balance of power allows for bigger shifts in political and social power. And there is a lot of interstitial work that can be done, as well as measures that do not necessarily be absolutely confrontational. For example, the german feed-in tariff has been absolutely essential in creating a renewable energy commons, and has been used to great effect by the community energy movement.</div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">P.S. Corporations that "embrace" commons projects do this to monetize upon user communities, outsource R&D, outpace / dislocate competitors and, in general, maximise profits. There is only one case where capital utilises intellectual commons in a way that differs from the logic of individual capitalists and addresses inherent contradictions. This is the case where corporations of the same sector form consortia, which administer commons at strategic resources, in order to avoid tragedies of the anticommons.

This has been actually done in practice by the movements all around the globe. I am afraid that the case with Syriza is completely lost, i.e. there will be no contradictions to exploit. Yet, at the municipal level we might stand better chances.

What I think is realistic today are prefigurative examples of partner state approaches , certainly at the local level, and given a change in the political balance of power, a transformation of the state form.
