It is to setup a #lending #library that can be versatile enough to handle lending a variety of objects.

The difference is the #ownership of the #MeansOfProduction. As long as a tiny minority of the rich owns it, the rest of us will be marching toward #shantytowns.

A similar sort of network has developed in many places with the #buynothing networks. And this is something that #meansofproduction can support as well - after all, a gift/buynothingitem is just a #loan that never expires.

One advantage of a permanent loan over a gift, though, is that it does incentivize people to keep items withing the system, and not sell it back to the mainstream #capitalist economy.

But a couple problems still exist - how do I setup libraries, especially for things that don't currently have libraries, like #tools

Well, you can go the traditional route - find a space, and make it a #library. #meansofproduction means that you will have software to help you with this ready to go!

But spaces are expensive, particularly in #urban environments. So MoP also supports a newish idea, #distributedlibrary .

So what is #meansofproduction?

MoP is open source software being designed to power libraries. It has two key features - the ability to create a #distributedlibrary, and the ability to #federate between many different libraries.

We'll handle each of these items separately, then dive into the tech stack, status, and later features!

If you'd like to get involved, please let me know!

A 🧵on the ongoing #meansofproduction project - which is designed to enable #librarysocialism along with #federation of all types of libraries, especially #toollibraries, and even #Housing

You can find more info at https://meansofp.org/, and the codebase is #opensource at https://meansofp.org/.

We have a discord at https://discord.gg/DxUrwhDg - but also moving lots of the discussion here to #mastodon!

Everything you need to live comfortably can be grown in less than an acre.

It's not expensive and you don't have to be a genius to learn how.

If we made growing our own #MeansOfProduction a fundamental part of maturity, like a high school requirement, we could be a sustainable people, immune to economic fluctuations & the whims of the rich & powerful, eating nutritious food from our zero-input harvest-only garden, and doing whatever we want with our abundant free time, instead of day jobs..!
