The fifth revolution: The next chapter in human evolution

Good article here. It's the ultimate goal of the emerging collaborative commons movement. It might take a long, long while to achieve though. That is, if we don't destroy the world with capitalistic global climate chaos first. To be determined. An excerpt:

"What I mean by the fifth revolution is that people can and should enjoy good lives, simply as a birthright, — without attaching them to jobs, money, income, status, power, or any of the other institutions and mechanisms of the past. Why? Because that has been the thrust and purpose of human history all along — it is what all the four previous revolutions were really about: human beings realizing themselves. First, they became people. Then, they joined together in democracies. Then, those democracies learned to invest in themselves. The goal of every revolution has always been to elevate and expand human life."
