    She showed that when natural resources are jointly managed by their users, in time, rules are established for how these are to be cared for and used in a way that is both economically and ecologically sustainable.

    Until one tech bro or finance guy comes along. So no countries then. Don’t you think in the last hundreds of years of recorded history that you could have come up with one?

      Well, she was born in 1933 so her fieldwork took place less than 100 years ago…

      Also great moving the goal post on your side. You said pure socialism doesn’t work and asked for long term, I gave you that. Now you say this isn’t within the last hundreds of years which is wrong. If by country you mean nation state, I can’t give you an example and I’m pretty sure this is the only thing you take out of this comment. There are alternatives to nation states. If you ask for people fighting today for a stateless society, look up Rojava or the Zapatistas. If this is too far away from Europe for you, look up the anarchosyndicalists in Spain less than a century ago. If you have specific criteria, maybe give them beforehand. If you are a troll, go fuck yourself. Also big citation needed that one techbro destroyed the forest commons in Nepal.

        Not moving goal posts. Last comment because you’re obviously not wanting to answer. A successful socialist country or nation state is what I’m asking for and have been asking for all along.

        Name one country or nation state that has made it work long term (let’s say 10 years) in the last HUNDREDS of years. Pick a century, any century. You can choose from any time period you want.

        I know this is breaking your brain, good luck.

          To make it more obvious that already: I’m an anarchist. I am against nation states. I do not believe in socialist states because I am against all states. I gave you enough examples of non- and anti-state projects already. The liberation of Kobane is a little more than 10 years ago so Rojava. The Zapatistas declared independence in 1994. The commons discussed earlier went on for centuries in areas big enough to be several states. But they don’t count because they didn’t have a head of state, three levels of administration and a parliament?
