I can't agree more with you, unfortunately there's a real C check of our position and our history to do, us being technical people:
- we must stop assuming everyone is equal. Access to a computer, access to a smartphone, access to a stable internet connection, capability to read and use a mouse or a keyboard; our requirements are way too high to build an inclusive community. Not everyone is a white rich american english-speaking male
- we must stop assuming everyone is financially, socially, culturally at ease, and that everything is "just" a matter of individual will. The market always favors those who have more, in the pusuit of even more, and those who weren't so lucky must be supported.
Stop giving tools to companies. Stop using non-copyleft licenses. They're the number one reason Facebook, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Twitter and countless others could be where they are today: leveraging the common goods without giving back at least as much. By design, a company maximizes the gap between what it takes and what it gives.
A simple analysis would defend the end of capitalism and the commons construction through a shared decision process, but it's still premature for HN
