"After this festival, several Assemblies of
Commons begun to emerge explicitly in Lille, Toulouse, Brest and several
other big cities in France. It must be understood that these assemblies
are all at the 'incubation' stage, and each of them is inventing its
own operation as informal structures. For most, they met only once or
twice.
They have a French wiki to document and exchange practices, and a website to communicate to the outside.
The main purpose of these assemblies is to be
a forum to exchange experiences and bring together commoners. They also
aim to promote the creation of an ethical economy that can create
livelihoods around the commons. They try to identify and develop commons
through mapping and meetings."
This sounds somewhat similar to Occupy Wall Street. An embryonic idea to fix society when politics isn't working.
