Peter Linebaugh: Who Owns the Commons? An 800 Year Fight for Public Goods

In these videos, a discussion on the rights of the commons with author Peter Linebaugh and youth voices about life and revolution in Venezuela.

This year marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, and this week’s show marks that occasion with a discussion on the rights of the commons with author Peter Linebaugh. We also visit a community center in Caracas, and hear from youth voices about life and revolution in Venezuela.

We join the radical arts collective Otro Beta in Caracas, Venezuela to learn about the work, and what they have to say to the people of the United States.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We still need to raise $14,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
