Movement as a P2P Network
A movement often uses peer-to-peer organizing routines but may not be interested in Commons Based outcomes. In some cases a social movement may seek a legal remedy; the enaction of new law or changes in existing law. It is possible to see the legal code of a jurisdiction as a form of a Commons. In some cases this will provoke a movement towards the greater complexity of organization required to manage production systems. Regardless of the level of organization, though, the orientation to a commons can facilitate widespread inspiration and membership.
