Peer-to-Peer Communism vs. The Client-Server Capitalist State ===
The internet started as a network that embodied the relations of peer-to-peer communism; however, it has been re-shaped by capitalist finance into an inefficient and un-free client-server topology
The existence of peer-to-peer networks that allow producers to collaborate on a global
scale has ushered in new forms of production
Such peer production has thus far been largely contained to non-tangible, immaterial creation, yet has the potential to be extended to material production and become a threat to the existence of capitalism. In order for this to take place, an alternative to venture capitalism needs to provide a means of acquiring and efficiently allocating the collectively owned material wealth required to build free networks and free societies.
We need venture communism, a form of struggle against the continued expansion of property-based capitalism a model for worker self-organization inspired by the topology of peer-to-peer networks and the historical pastoral commons
The only way to change society is to produce and share differently.
We must develop ways to create and to reproduce commonsbased productive relationships.
The ‘market economy’ is, by definition, a surveillance economy
