[p2p-research] Fwd: Actually Existing Internet Communism

[Roberto Verzola]

I agree with you, Kevin, about non-State, non-commercial economic 
activities. Commons are one example. Toeffler a long time ago called it 
"prosumption" (production for consumption), I believe. I have also come 
across a apt term, "self-provisioning". Perhaps this classification 
suggests itself: State-provisioning, market-provisioning, mutual 
(P2P?)-provisioning, self-provisioning, etc. It also fits nicely into 
the definition of economics as the study of society's provisioning 
process. Of course, as you said, many do the activity not for its 
provisioning result (which may just be a side-effect) but for the sheer 
joy of doing it.

Greetings to all from Manila,
