I personally think they can, but the people who are involved in the commons must take great pains to ensure that the market doesn’t prey upon and destroy the commons. In other words, the temptation to monetize our relationships and resources tends to destroy the social solidarity and collective stewardship of a resource. So there needs to be certain social understandings or technological systems or legal protections to ensure that a commons remains a commons.”

Personal Info – that will be the commons. It needs defending.

Time to get organised.

That’s what I’m doing. If you can help me I can help you. Get in touch.

I ain’t kidding. (I’m not hanging around anymore waiting for someone else to get this shit sorted).
