some old stuff


>>> Sabine, Nuss (2005) Digital goods and the concept of the commons.
>>> In: Proceedings "2005 Left Forum", New York, NY, USA.
>>>
>>> Abstract
>>>
>>> A lot of scholars and activists don't question the social form of the
>>> private good - in contrast they praise the market and the form of the
>>> private good as efficient and well installed - for certain goods.
>>> Accordingly, most of the advocates of the commons concept defend it only
>>> for certain goods and they justify that with a diffuse mixture of material
>>> consistence and normative claims. They ignore that under capitalist
>>> circumstances public goods are functional for the capital itself and that
>>> they are a pure social construction, so that they will be transformed
>>> in a private good as soon as its profitable for capital and as long it is
>>> not in the interest of the nation state to keep control over these goods -
>>> as it is the case in the national defense. If one wishes to withdraw goods
>>> from commodification then its better not to justify that with any material
>>> consistence but rather with a clear political statement against the social
>>> form of private goods. That requires rethinking and questioning this form,
>>> which is obviously the prevailing and seldom challenged form in which
>>> everything tends to transform, dependent on technological, legal and
>>> ideological means and dependent on the state of the art of capitalism.
>>> --------------
>>> Or to come back to the doughnuts example with a German quote from the
>>> early seventies:
>>> "We don't want just a few doughnuts, we want the whole bakery"
