Kevin Kelly on the New Socialism
Instead of gathering on collective farms, we gather in collective worlds. Instead of state factories, we have desktop factories connected to virtual co-ops. Instead of sharing drill bits, picks, and shovels, we share apps, scripts, and APIs.

Instead of government rations and subsidies, we have a bounty of free goods.
