    Seeing as the free and open-source software movements have been a very effective, enduring, and successful method of liberating a lot of digital infrastructure, I think it provides a powerful model as an alternative to “seizing” the means of production.

    One example already in practice is Open Source Ecology. FOSS industrial machine schematics have to be the basis. But the factory itself needs to be reinvented, from a linear process to a circular and, I think, general purpose one. Like a maker space scaled up enough to provide for the needs of one township.

    And part of the reinvention needs to involve using a property trust framework to ensure the physical production property is in common ownership. We need to copyleft the means of production.
