  • NON-MARKET CONTRIBUTIONS

    by Trey Taylor

    In a post-labour world, the NMCA coordinates opportunities for non-market, collaborative forms of work, that could be specified in public boards, their management conducted through participatory governance bodies where one can book spaces, decide how much resources should be devoted to what, and plan events. 

    The types of self-directed activities we usually relegate to hobbies become the fount of meaningful social activity: art, sport, intellectual engagement, care-work, gardening, cooking, political activism, etc. We can imagine these activities coordinated through multi-purpose public spaces providing luxurious and decommodified communal amenities.

  • UNIVERSAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORK

    by Trey Taylor
    The UPTN is a restructured local and national transport system toward socio-ecological ends. Decommodified - that is, not for profit - and electrified trains, trams, buses can seize back material infrastructure from the private sector and ensure the working classes don’t need to be ripped off to get to their jobs; a publicly owned fleet of electric vehicles can substitute for those times when cars are more practical, a far more efficient alternative than letting them gather dust in driveways; and e-bikes and e-scooters can jet alongside their more traditional forms in cycle highways and newly pedestrianised areas. This type of universal, multimodal, publicly-owned, socially, and environmentally beneficial transport system is the future; cars, just like the oil on which they were based, should be left in the 20th century.
