  • she's not a socialist - she's advocating private property w/o govt control. she says "gov't ownership" and common ownership lead to over-fishing/ overuse

  • @kobe24 She isn't advocating anything but showing with her research that common ownership is not that much of a problem as "the tragedy of commons" suggested, and that local communities usually have more information about what concerns them than larger entities like governments or global organisations, thus local communities will make better local decisions in general than governments/global organisations/etc.

    She is NOT saying common ownership leads to over-use.

  • @1969floridagirl you dumass its not a matter of belief, its a matter of looking at objective empirical evidence and formulating theories to explain that evidence. She is trying to explain, and propose a solution to the observable decline of natural resources that are meant to be sustainable. get the fucking prejudices out of your head.

  • Hmm, the good ol "Sustainability" word. Does this have anything to do with AGENDA 21?

    Speaking foo many people, why do these "Sustainable" people never say anything about being flooded by an endless flow of immigrants-their birth rates ignored?

    Why not ask this government to end BIRTHRIGHT Citizenship of those born to ILLEGAL ALIENS? Between the ILLEGAL ALIENS &  their offspring, they're getting FREE births, WIC, food stamps, Legal-language aide, Free K-12 school (including Free food).

  • @nimdeos absolutely, afaik.

  • @otacon451 It is my understanding that a group of anarcho capitalists could, through voluntarism, join land resources and manage it as a commons. perhaps?

  • @kobe24 Her research shows that common ownership does NOT necessarily lead to over-fishing/overuse

  • @1969floridagirl

    OH so reality is "socialist's" fault. You are a "genius". LOL

    Wanna buy some GoldLine or AmWay? How about a bridge or swamp land? You pathetic Glenn Beck sheep FUCKWIT! Grow a brain.

  • Over consumption is in the eye of the beholder

  • Wow , if anyone of you believe this crap , you need your head checked out.

    LOL these Fabian socialists are always whining about big bad humans hehehe
