We completely agree!!<br>
<br>
It is a nodal moment because this convergence, I guess, reflects a
deepening concern in wide social sectors. In our case, we are
experiencing since October's Somero a widening of our audience and
a closer relation with other communities. Last week, in example, we
had by first time in many years, more than 10.000 unique visitors in
our blog in only a day, and the <a href="https://lasindias.com/the-communard-manifesto" target="_blank">Communard
Manifesto</a> is spreading a lot faster than we thought: there are
in example volunteers -we did not know before- translating it in
Switzerland and Portugal to German and Portuguese languages.<br>
<br>
So, we are sensing not only the appearance of a «P2P theoritical
camp», but the emergence of a «P2P audience» probably product of
the disenchanted with the political hopes hegemonic only a year ago
between the majority of the activists in countries like Spain or
Greece.<br>
<br>
So, Michel, what comes now? How could we contribute?<span class=""><br>

Kleiner</a>, which I posted here, also shows a convergence
towards this multi-modal approach (working for the
strengthening of the new economy within the existing one)

Krause</a> on the blockchain which I posited, along with
the 'transvestment' practices, show that both the practice,
and the theory, and the subjectivity of Enspiral is moving
in the same direction</p>
<p style="margin:6px 0px">4) as for myself, I am working on a
more theoretical book in which I'm aligning all our pasts
insights following the overview of Kojin Karatini ..</p>
<p style="margin:6px 0px">I may be forgetting some other
elements, but here we are, there is effectively, a
collective organic intellectual at work, which is thinking
through the strategies to be followed by the forces of the
commons, in a way that may have been there in seed form, but
is about to flower and .. THIS IS HUGELY IMPORTANT</p>
<p style="margin:6px 0px">I am not implying here of course
that there are no differences between the approaches of
these groups, but that they are moving broadly in the same
direction .</p>

bridges between these groups, but there are occasional
informal contacts, and the memes do seem to travel ..</p>

<p style="margin:6px 0px">With Dmytri Kleiner, we are
discussing a 'Transvestment' conference in Berlin at the end
of this year, no funding yet, this could be an occasion for
these groups to enter into more coherent dialogue,</p>
