This matters for VRM as a philosophy because in our current system, ownership leverages non-ownership and manages scarcity of opportunity to enforce power. VRM proposes a new paradigm. To create participatory equality as the baseline default, ownership must be a ubiquitous state. This world will NEVER go backwards to non-ownership without blowing itself up in a mass-armageddon event...so the only practical path is to universally distribute private ownership of the marketplace itself... of participation itself... and in so doing, eliminate the idea that OWNERS can create false scarcity of opportunity to enforce their power over NON-OWNERS.

what does this mean? a cooperatively owned marketplace?
