Hi Michel and all!
One more thought.
Last week (12 days ago) Michael Bouwens wrote:
To see free software as an objective law, that we just have to wait until the GPL society falls in our lap, while all the indicators are going negative, is to make the old Marxist mistake of the inevitability of socialism.
When looking at the decline of capitalism I completely agree with you.
For instance the inflation ("Überdehnung") of the US empire which we
currently witness IMHO is a strong indication of the end of an era.
That's why I think we better find something new and sustainable
quickly. To me the potential of the old form has run out, however.
It seems to me that the new on the other hand is on its way already. I
think strengthening the new is the best we can do. And IMHO this is
strengthening the germ forms in Free Software, Open Access, Wikipedia
and the like. As you, Michel, seem to be a Free Researcher in P2P mode
IMHO you are already doing a lot :-) . IMHO this applies also to
everyone here who is spending his/her time and energy to try to
understand what is going on.
Mit Freien Grüßen
Stefan
