software is infinitely scalable and costless for the marginal user/beneficiary. I think that’s why it’s the first place we see this. Would be nice to do it with open source organizations… and I do think we’ll get there… including open source organization of society (what today we call “government”). But people’s time is not scalable/“costless” like software so I suspect it’ll take success in very specific categories to show us the way to do this with organizations.

It's all tooling. Just as democracy was made possible by printing press, public key crypto makes possible the transition of "evil" privately owned modes of production to international commons/coops. Democratising capital is very hard, all the tools we are building make it way easier. The multinational monopolistic Corp is only 300 years old after all, and is a temp inefficient blip ripe for being replaced. The crazy part is everyone wins! Monopolistic multinational Corps becoming commons, means ancaps also get their free/fair markets of competing private capital/industrialists. I call it the Adam Smith Invisible Bitch-slap Economic Theory, as its actually in-line with Smiths original definition of the "Invisible Hand".
