MAJOR #Problem with #Commonism or any theory of change... 
Any proposed system or way that does not expect resistance against it actively seems for me an unrealistic new system or transition to put into any practice.
We will surely have a #transition phase involving all many things (stresses and types of people in the way wanting to keep the existing going at the same time). Not sure if any will suddenly have a change of heart or will to try something - maybe because it relates themselves so much even knowingly, just professionally.
Education might work... but even that has to be done right and things will still going during that and not many know when the exit point is or what transition means more than 'let's see' and 'sit and wait' a bit - maybe 'test' some of it in the academic sense (not many live it)
Those people that are professionally invested and employed are pretty good at being bad and sticking to it daily quite well. (It's no accident or it's not stupid people). It's what they are paid to do and good at it. Even knowing the underlying dirty work still doesn't really deter people from what 'works' (and at least pays them).
They probably do sleep well on their yachts, buying luxury with piles of money. And even lower down, people don't want for a lot less when it comes down to it. I know from experience trying to 'free' people who only are so desperate to pay, or be minimal when you can eat the whole lot... Even the poor people don't want freedom sometimes unless really desperate. Tried most my life if various ways. It's been shocking at times like birds that don't really want to fly out of a cage or want to be responsible for their own lives and those of others
A lot is psychological and mind over matter because people don't care for others to that extent! Smaller stuff like reading lots... nah. Sorry! Don't have time for _those_ things!
On the Fediverse very few might try something (or even respond).
The will of the existing rulers or employees are strong and that keeps what they want (and what they don't want).
They don't want the new or to be more free unless it does MORE of the same ways as before. They are enforcing the future and stealing it.
Free is also a danger for us because governments actually will use things against us. They don't pay for many needed things but then pay for grants or research - but not towards freedom, but of course the same stepping-up of the game they were interested in before - otherwise they would have paid for it freedom 100 times already and we could have solved much of it with the profit... or inventions of fertilizer, the major inventions and techniques - but instead it's just made worse and pushing the boat out a bit further / the same but larger scale even at risk of it all breaking / rotting things.
======================
SO THIS IS MY OPEN QUESTION OR ANYONE HERE
Does your theory or book expect to deal with the opposition of it? Y ./ N / Maybe
What makes you're book or it's thinkings any different to all these other ways?
(I accept a bit of change but not sure about changed even something other than just ad-hoc mutuality)
Why wouldn't people put those that make major change in jail again especially when paid / their life depends on it?
=======================
THE REST IS OPTIONAL / ONLY IF YOU'RE ABLE but mostly can be considered an overflow if text so stick to above for now...
=======================
All can be GREAT theory (really) by you and others - but there is the same experiences happening when trying...
...BECAUSE NEARLY EVERYTHING has always had deliberate challenge and shut down not least relating to their ego(s), muscle-mindedness, control, physical / primitive of restricting others (jailing them) etc etc...
And I don't mean evil or corporate people only - I mean people like our parents so far behind they'll want to kill it like the 'bacteria' they think is bad but actually the basis of life and diversity. They will spray it in a second like a bug.
Even of the GREAT inventors have had such hardship from backwards thinking let alone Capitalism (or whatever)... even from those people they could have used and abused earlier (for money) but they condemn these types unless they can be used for profit... Dickens or Van Gogh or whoever people wouldn't even be able to sell their books for lowest currency or for free, they would get burnt or witch-hunts (modern day equivalent still is very much the same)..
And just put people in jail earlier than listening to them. Not even logic there.
If people like that don't give money to the greats... abuse them even... and throw people away. What consideration do you have for that?
===================
Again stop reading anytime.
===================
Anything / everything will face these stresses (despite my bad examples perhaps)
IF ANYTHING STARTS WORKING. YOU WILL GET SHUT DOWN. It's not fear talking. You might have never got something going before to have the experience - something that is caring is magnet for being shut down and naive people wonder why on earth they would bulldozer the place or charge public to not improve it. Essentially it keeps the power and scarcity. And give them something bad to do with tax you give them...
Think about #Bitcoin as another #commoning (again not a great word or triggers people) but interest to take it over is tangible, one day bad and full of 'hackers' and voodoo and now on your high street once locked and sterilised by them.
inventors trying to make free energy, hemp rope, have to deal with existing patents, law, and well it's just #Assange stuff!
Across the board too much.
So my advice we give them ideas if anything... UNLESS your idea can deal with the FLACK at the same time as changing and even not announce it like these twitter people serving to show the trend and wonder why they are cut off at the road ahead to change - the system can see / hear / predict it (system also means those behind it raking / scraping in all the trends).
Anyway I appreciate writing a lot but chances are you might not be interested.
It's not just a theory thing but like a tug of #war to the existing AND they don't play logic... (again even without fear it's worse than talking to monkeys).
You can't argue for fairness, pity, they don't work like that but in #authority and relate to their paychecks even lower down the level like you and I.
Whch is often why #academics and #acedemia are pre-checkmated. / steralised. Sign here please.
SO BACK TO YOUR BOOK...
Apologies that I haven't read your book but can pull something out regarding that?
I'd appreciate it - my guess is 0 mention of that - and any official book may not even be able to publish it!
I haven't come across ANYTHING that deals with those backwards systems that haven't been de-platformed etc... Maybe #DavidGraeber style stuff but really it's a hard one.
Would love to be corrected,
Imagine those backwards people in offices to change.,, the way your mum thinks... patriarchy your and way you dad doesn't allow "free" or "Italian / Russian" way if masculine domination (or any stereotype), the "perfectionist / maximization / efficiency of 'German' types (again sorry but for short)... all the cultures have it (some more than others though now we're mixing)
Or new generation, really fancy and in their bourgeois comforts - never going to let go.
People will keep things THEIR WORLD in line and even shoot themselves in the foot to keep the norm going.
What makes you're book or thinking any different?
Did you ever get feedback or hear of something like this?
Why wouldn't people put those that change in jail again?
#RogerHallam #TommyRobinson etc... regardless of their flavours
All said with respect and fast writing so you can get the basic ideas.

#Quote 1
"The most difficult question for a social #transformation will probably be how we change from competing lone warriors to cooperating individuals who are turned towards each other in the knowledge that our own well-being depends on the well-being of our fellow humans."

zirkus@LauraleeDukeshire
i'd object only in one thing: #Capitalism can't be reined. Its constituting principles are directly opposing a #communal human livelihood. In capitalism, things are only produced in expectation of a profit. The benefit for the community has no relevance. And the measures to rise profits (rationalization, fragmentation, commodification) are causing the atomization of communalities. This must be transformed to a cooperative mode of living and producing in community.

@AdrianRiskin@kolektiva.socialTIL about Kett's Rebellion!
Led by Robert Ket, himself a landowner, a rebel army of sixteen thousand peasants captured Norwich, England’s second-largest city. They set up their “court” on Mousehold Heath outside the city, where they maintained their cause for six weeks. They demanded that “lords, knights, esquires, and gentlemen” be stopped from commercial stock-raising, and rent-gouging, and from privatizing common lands. We can agree with Bindoff that this was “a radical programme, indeed, which would have clipped the wings of rural capitalism.”

search.worldcat.org @AdrianRiskin@kolektiva.socialHoly cow, Gerrad Winstanley wrote this in 1652!
Surely then, oppressing lords of manors, exacting landlords, and tithe-takers, may as well say, their brethren shall not breathe in the air, nor enjoy warmth in their bodies, nor have the moist waters to fall upon them in showers, unless they will pay them rent for it: as to say, their brethren shall not work upon earth, nor eat the fruits thereof, unless they will hire that liberty of them. For he that takes upon him to restrain his brother from the liberty of the one, may upon the same ground restrain him from the liberty of all four; viz. fire, water, earth, and air.
A man had better to have had no body, than to have no food for it; therefore this restraining of the earth from brethren by brethren, is oppression and bondage; but the free enjoyment thereof is true freedom.
Gerrard Winstanley, quoted in Ian Angus. The War Against the Commons
#GerrardWinstanley #IanAngus #Commons #Commonism #Diggers #Capitalism #Anarchism
@AdrianRiskin@kolektiva.social'The privatization of land has been justly described as “perhaps the weirdest of all undertakings of our ancestors.”* The transformation of common resources into private property involved not only new ways of using the land, but also, as both cause and effect, new ways of thinking about it. The idea that individuals could claim exclusive ownership of parts of nature on which all humans depend was very weird indeed. Contrary to the oft-expressed view that greed is inherent in human nature, the shift from commons-based to private profit-based farming was not accepted easily—in fact, it was denounced and resisted as an assault of the laws of God and the needs of humanity.'

https://panke.gallery/event/game-changers-the-game
Get ready for an evening of excitement and engagement!
@pankegallery, 28 September 2023, 7-10 pm
Introducing Game-Changers: The Game, a public storytelling board game that blurs the lines between reality and simulation. The stage is set for a clash between Capitalists and Commoners as they battle it out to seize the hottest buzzwords of the new economy. And that's not all - enter the interactive audience, known as “peerticipants”, who have the power to shape the game's outcome in real time.
In the game, two teams that embody seemingly opposite discursive poles – for example Capitalism vs. Commonism, Green Growth vs. Degrowth, or Vectoralists vs. the Hacker Class – compete in creating compelling storylines about transformation in order to lay claim to playing fields consisting of real-world “new economy” initiatives and related ideas.
To create these stories, the teams must use the Challenge and Intervention cards available to them at a given time or respond to the cards already linked to particular playing fields. Another, third set of cards, Wildcards, is composed of “external” events which can offer unique windows of opportunity for either team or skew the balance in a number of ways.
Audiences (peerticipants) evaluate the players’ storylines in real time and, in doing so, affect their chance of success. As a peerticipant, you also have the option to contribute prompt cards (prior to or during the event) for the players, making the game a dynamic knowledge commoning and scenario-building tool.
Get ready for an evening of interactive excitement, strategic gameplay, and meaningful reflections! We look forward to having you with us, either as a member of the audience or as an active peerticipant.

Available now from Meson Press: Shintaro Miyazaki's new book “Counter-Dancing Digitality. On Commoning and Computation”
https://meson.press/books/counter-dancing-digitality (free PDF via Open Access)
This has been my most extensive translation effort to date. Going through all these elaborations and finding English words for them, particularly for the idiosyncratic expressions, has been a deep dive into the inspiring network of thoughts presented in this text. I am happy it is finally published: “Digitality is imposed upon us! To change this, we should not turn away from it, but look carefully into its transformative power and make operable alternatives such as counter-algorhythms and solidarity-oriented commoning. The aim is a world where profit and property no longer exist, but instead where a cooperative dance – between all the needs posed by our ecosystems, and all the needs of people – becomes practicable. This book is a critical media theory of future-building, modulated by a focus on the potentials of counter-dancing as providing ways to unfold fugitive practices.”
Prof. Dr. Shintaro Miyazaki teaches and researches in the field of media studies (digitality, computation, critique, and social transformation) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. His collaegue Jussi Parikka, professor in digital aesthetics and culture at Aarhus University & Winchester School of Art, says: “Shintaro Miyazaki’s joyful book builds a media theoretical proposal for collective rhythms in computational culture. The mix of wonderful readings and insights offers alternatives to the depressing beat of capitalism, while maneuvering from cybernetics and computational modeling to play, from media archaeology to Marx and digital commons.”

@AdrianRiskin@kolektiva.socialA theory and a question about seeing the criminalization of sex work as enclosure of means of production
It's possible to see the criminalization of sex work as enclosure of productive commons in support of capitalism. I feel like people must already have thought about this and am hoping someone could recommend reading? The argument:
1. Everyone has a body and can potentially use it to make money directly through sex work. Bodies are a means of production available to every person without intermediation.
2. People who can support themselves directly may not choose to engage in wage labor. This threatens capitalism, which requires a steady supply of commoditized labor.
3. Capital's response is to cut off access to the means of production, an enclosure process. Liberated sex work, with no entree for the state through criminalization, threatens capitalism and is therefore illegal.
I'm not claiming that this is the sole reason sex work is criminalized. Criminalized sex work, like all aspects of capitalism, has many uses and so is highly overdetermined. There are many, many reasons for it.
