Theme: Governance

Well you know I don’t think reducing relative equality of material condition is a bad thing. I think that doing it by command at the point of a gun, whether by one tyrant, a tyrannical oligarchy, or a majority tyranny, makes no difference. Most of us will prefer it if we obtain behavioral payment in exchanges, so that our commons both physical and human improves. If one cannot produce in the commercial economy that does not mean one cannot produce in the normative, economy of behavior, nor in the production of commons – which is almost entirely one of casual daily maintenance and care. The Russians didn’t get it all wrong you know. The build a good commons economy with the working and underclass, just like we built a good commercial economy with the working and middle and upper middle classes. But monopoly of economic models makes no more sense than a monopoly provision of commons by majority rule. There is no reason we cannot have commercial, commons, and normative economies, each operating with different members and different methods of compensation. Becuase the normative, common, and commercial all depend upon each other.
