About the publication: In the age of international telecommunications, global migration and the emergence of the information economy, how can class conflict and property be understood? Drawing from political economy and concepts related to intellectual property, The Telekommunist Manifesto is a key contribution to commons-based, collaborative and shared forms of cultural production and economic distribution.

Proposing ‘venture communism’ as a new model for workers’ self-organization, Kleiner spins Marx and Engels’ seminal Manifesto of the Communist Party into the age of the internet. As a peer-to-peer model, venture communism allocates capital that is critically needed to accomplish what capitalism cannot: the ongoing proliferation of free culture and free networks.

Helpful framing for digital age communist thinking

5 izar

Kleiner examines capitalism and the possibilities for cooperativism/communism in the digital age, especially in regards to peer production and licensing. Useful distinctions drawn around production, materials vs. digital, and digital labor. Growing dated in some areas, but on the whole still very relevant to today. Kleiner proposes a new licensing model to promote Peer Production / Venture Communism and presents meaningful and substantive arguments against both copyright and standard copyleft licensing models (like GPL, Creative Commons, etc.) from a leftist perspective.
