[p2p-research] P2P + The System = Change

[Michel Bauwens]

Marc,

I'm for a very pragmatic approach in this,

for 200 years, people have fought and vituperated against capitalism, it
still stands,

I say, we use 'it', just as it uses 'us', we do what we have to do to
advance our goals and values,with whatever is available to us, in the
smartest possible way, and with the most allies that we can muster ...

but we advance on all fronts at the same time,

Michel
