Towards a Coalition of Commons-Oriented Entrepreneurial Coalitions - P2P Foundation

Towards a Coalition of Commons-Oriented Entrepreneurial Coalitions - P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The basic idea is that peer production generally takes a triarchical form, i.e. open productive communities that co-contribute to a commons and common good; a ethical entrepreneurial coalition that creates livelihoods for the commoners and co-creates commons (related to our ideas about Open Cooperativism), and quite often, for-benefit associations such as the Floss Foundations, which manage and maintain the cooperative infrastructure.

A New Alignment of Movements? Part II: Strategies for a Convergence of Movements | Commons Transition

A New Alignment of Movements? Part II: Strategies for a Convergence of Movements | Commons Transition | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

A key challenge facing all of the movements, noted Kate Swade of Shared Assets, is whether to pursue solutions through pragmatic politics and elections, or whether to try to change the general political discourse and institutional structures over the long term. It seems difficult to pursue both options at the same time. This apparent choice may be especially vexing for the Degrowth movement, whose very name is often seen as unappealing to the political mainstream. (“At least the term can’t be easily co-opted,” quipped one leader at the Fourth International Degrowth Conference in Leipzig, Germany, held days after this workshop.) Is this a cautionary lesson for other movements seeking to change the discourse?

Here’s a very special treat. Originally published on Guerrilla TranslationMovimiento por la Democracia´s “Charter for Democracy” stands out as premier example of citizen-led solution making to the various crises we face. It is a constitution for the commons written by commons.
