The Commons was a quaint concept from before the days of capitalism, when most people were able to see that cooperation, not competition, was vital to survival.

Now thanks to generations of people living in capitalist, consumer societies, people have lost sight of that view.

It's like acceptance of capitalism was dangled like a big, huge credit card humanity could borrow against again and again until our spending habits were too big, and we reached our spending limit. But we're still the borrowers.
