[pp.int.general] Should Pirate Parties include the coming Swarm Economy as policy?

[Rick Falkvinge (Piratpartiet)]

Dear colleagues,

after long thinking, I have arrived at the conclusion that Pirate
Parties may be in a unique situation to catalyze change from today's
industrial-age way of measuring value.

In today's terms, GNU/Linux and Wikipedia count as nonvalue and
nonproduction, but somebody slacking off on a paid job counts as
production.

Contributions to industry-fundamental components on a global scale by
world-class skilled craftsmen don't count towards production simply
because the craftsmen weren't paid by somebody to do it. That is INSANE.

I am doing a bit of thinking in this blog post, and would welcome your
take on the subject.

Cheers,
