Rogier De Langhe:
How can we organize human solidarity in the p2p age?
One of the most common worries about P2P is that it will erode social rights. The key to understanding P2P solidarity is that P2P is not just a policy offering new solutions for existing problems, but a new system that changes the problems altogether.
Strong calls for income guarantees and social rights are specific to (and historically emerged together with) the system of industrial capitalism we know today, which reduces persons to isolated consumers trading in anonymous marketplaces. In a world of commons, income and social protection are much less problematic because
1) income is less important than access to networks: P2P cause a shift from ownership to sharing and hence from consumption of a good to participation in a network.
2) social protection is more straightforward in a world where everyone depends on one another.
