    I think it makes sense in some areas. For example private ownership of cars is completely unsustainable in the literal sense of the word.

    But when it comes to digital goods, clearly it’s all for the profit of the media cartels. There’s no justification.

      Publicly or corporately owned cars are not the solution. A more robust public transportation system is the solution. Busses and trains are so much more efficient than cars.

        Agreed that majority transport should be shared&public but smaller personalized transport will still be needed (eg a doctor being called to an emergency)

        I could also see a system of self driving cars (not trucks but very small city cars) as a kind of public uber. Kind of like how gondolas work in some mountain cities. And of course just one per let’s say 10 or more people as opposed to 1 or more cars per family like we have now.

          Yup, sounds reasonable to me. All we need for that is to make sure that greedy capitalists don’t end up using people’s lack of cars to exploit them with absurd prices and privacy violations.

            That’s the real danger. Shared ownership is great but not if you privatise the whole thing.
