Why we need a post-capitalist Commons transition today

Article at the P2P Foundation. From the abstract:

"Our main hypothesis is that in the current conjuncture, we are again moving towards a ‘dominance’ of the commons format [...] that indicate and bring forth a new organizational logic. [...] So what then is the nature of these seed forms for a post-capitalist commons transition? We see the rapid emergence of many different knowledge sharing movements (free software, open design, etc..) and an exponential rise in knowledge commons; infrastructural commoning is also emerging rapidly, and not just in the southern European countries where state and market failure is the most obvious. The way forward is through a dynamic interweaving of strategic categories of commoning activity, the city state, productive communities, both local and transnational categories of solidarity and action, and the enactment of deep solidarity and value exchange systems, protocols and logics that can coherence and strengthen these seed forms into torrents of wise and regenerative change."
