Re: [ox-en] Labor contradictions

The core question to me is what you do with the means of production
once you have acquired them. If you use them to do the same as before
- i.e. no Selbstentfaltung but abstract labor - then you simply repeat
the history of those attempts in capitalism.

A peer production based attempt to acquire means of production would
mean to acquire the most advanced means of production available - like
industrial robots and the like. These are the means of production you
can Selbstentfalt with by playfully working with them and doing useful
things at the same time.


This is precisely what I think is impossible at this stage of history,which
is why I would formulate the priorities as follows:

- achieve a change from absolute alienation (capitalism) to relative
alienation (cooperative production)

- increase the sphere of absolute non-alienation (peer production)

- create bridges and fluidity to facilitate passage from one to the other ..


I think that is a pretty realistic assesment
