"in this essay I look at the politics of the commons from a feminist perspective where “feminist” refers to a standpoint shaped by the struggle against sexual discrimination and over reproductive work... This intervention is necessary, in my view, to better define this politics and clarify the conditions under which the principle of the common/s can become the foundation of an anti-capitalist program."

"#Lausan #流傘 is a collective of writers, researchers, activists and artists from #HongKong and its diasporas, engaging with the city’s political struggle. Through translation, creation, and education, Lausan 流傘 aims to build solidarity on the international left with Hong Kongers’ unfinished fight to imagine emancipatory futures after colonialism, against both Chinese and Western imperialism."

"We are 100% independent and volunteer-run."

"today’s widespread obsession with smart contracts, platform capitalism and economies of scale... only serve to reinforce last century’s dominant and extractive modes of production. Instead, dive into this report and discover the possibilities of Ostrom contracts, platform cooperativism and economies of scope... the seeds of a generative commons-based economy that is fit for the 21st century’s social and ecological challenges."

MANFRED MAX-NEEF:

One, the economy is to serve the people and not the [reverse].

Two, development is about people and not about objects.

Three, growth is not the same as development, and development does not necessarily require growth.

Four, no economy is possible in the absence of ecosystem services.

Five, the economy is a subsystem of... the biosphere, hence permanent growth is impossible.

...no economic interest, under no circumstance, can be above the reverence of life.

Murió Manfred Max-Neef:

"Durante su carrera académica Max Neef publicó decenas de ensayos y cuatro libros centrados en las problemáticas ambientalistas y de economía sustentable, el más reconocido de ellos titulado "Desarrollo a escala humana: Conceptos, aplicaciones y reflexiones", publicado en 1986."

Thanks to @luisrazeto I am reading a little book by Albert O. Hirschman, "Getting Ahead Collectively"

"As an economist I had expected that the need to mobilize a minimal account of capital would be at the root of at least some of the cooperative, worker-managed enterprises. But it turned out that a more fundamental need is, once again, some experience dispelling isolation and mutual distrust."

People carry this positive legacy of solidarity with them from experience to experience.
