Examples

“So far, I have⟳ made two arguments. One is that you can’t justify⟳ an opposition to proprietary information solely on an ethical imperative to share⟳, unless you are willing to extend⟳ that ethical imperative to all resources and thus embrace true communism. Second, an appeal to the non–rival nature of digital information can’t get⟳ you off the slippery slope to info–communism if your case is built entirely around a deontological appeal to the value of sharing and cooperation.”

“In contrast to the capitalist mode of production, in the info-communist mode of production both the relations of production and the productive forces are fully socialized—they are based on common ownership of the means of production and collaborative work⟳.”
