Revolt-58.


Expressive politics is a struggle against
commodity property itself. Expressive politics is
not the struggle to collectivise property, for that
is still a form of property. Expressive politics is
the struggle to free what can be free from both
versions of the commodity form -- its totalising
market form, and its bureaucratic state form. What
may be free from the commodity form altogether is
not land, not capital, but information. All other
forms of property are exclusive. The ownership by
one excludes, by definition, the ownership by
another. But information as property may be shared
without diminishing anything but its scarcity.
Information is that which can escape the commodity
form.
