Here I leave you with a short video about the very nature of something that we should not forget: "The Commons", which we know and others start to realize, over the years (if not decades) These are still matters of privatization, or rather of men who claim the right to possess them. In fact it should be noted that "the commons" are the same networks of life that sustain us. Also human creations that are always social. They are air, water, seeds, earth, outer space, culture, the genome, biodiversity, landscape, sun, self-regulation, materials premium ... free software, works of art, knowledge ... is not anyone in particular, belong to all future generations and other living beings ("can not be owners of our mother"). Services come from nature and cultural constructions of humanity. As you see, are inherited and of basic importance for life. Quinto Horacio Flaco already said in the first century BC: "it is difficult to define and own the common things."
O Marx himself rightly said that since "the point of view of a higher social-economic formation, private property in the hands of an individual will be so absurd as that of a man in the hands of another man. Even a whole society or nation, or all contemporary societies together, own the land. "
And here I can cite for example when you return to Lunahuana (after 2 years), I noticed the unpleasant surprise that a man had surrounded the market and the river of people and raised his club tour, the fence was to banks of the river and was forbidden to swim in its waters, something more absurd. How can an ecosystem (all) can be appropriated?, Is like saying that an individual or a corporation can appropriate a school of fish that is constantly changing place place or a river flowing. Amazing what we live.
The video was created by Common Strategies Group , this includes a critical look at the problem of the "Tragedy of the Commons."
