		<description>This is very interesting and I find myself nodding in general agreement with what you say.

Of course much of the potential for universal inclusion in developing visions towards the future requires looking backwards -- historically -- to how &quot;ownership&quot; arose and persisted, how it orginated, how it was accepted, and was passed on from generation to generation. How was it possible? How does it continue?

We need to understand how ownership relates to political power and the control-over (possesson-of) the means of violence. We also need to examine how racism has arisen as a self-deceiving historical pretext or moral justification allowing one group of people to self-assert the right to inflict violence upon another group of people: racism acting as a mask for theft, exploitation, dispossession, and murder.

In this respect, it is difficult to see how we can examine the question of ownership without examining &quot;the world-as-economics&quot;. Of course we need to understand what this means... the extent that ownership is over the means to divide between those who envision the future and those who are set the task of providing the resources and physically realising that vision through their labour. The extent that ownership is over the means to divide and differentiate humanity into alloted roles and tasks.

The question of ownership is inherently a question of systems and means of domination and enforcement of the right to envision and direct the future.</description>
