The reason I think #MatriarchalCommunism is the next (or first!?) truly civilized "phase" (if we survive this) is because the rise of primative #accumulation and #capitalism, including the #enclosures of #public #land transfomed into #private, the development of #wage #labor following the #crisis of european “need” for expanding #markets and labor, and the witch trials and murders (10s of thousands of basic #sisters, daughters, and #grandmothers) created or deepened (while adding 100% incrs of intensity of #misogyny) the line between men/male and women/female (less than), while hitherto, communities included #identities and #labor performed independently or in #untraditional #families.
Previous to “Oh shit the world is round!” the #complementary #division of labor for #families in the structure meant women's #work was valued, #compensated with #trade and #respect. #Euro-Colonialist states and the church’s (both #Protestant and #Catholic) #insatiable #desire for #freelabor and #profit purposefully created #genders #races and #childabuse. Before, there were territories and natural boundaries. after the violent and terrifying rise of #privateproperty in #Europe they demanded heirarchies binaries to separate who profits from who labors and who slaves
But what if #We #ridetogether #rideordie

Perhaps property is where an end to the corporate and people divide can be agreed on? The relation of investors to people has become so extreme; accelerating inequality and injustice that a cap on fascist growth must be called for before violent revolutions and or civil wars takes place! #CorporateProperty #PrivateProperty #Lettings #Renters #FairDeal #JusticeForEpsteinVictims #Revolutions #CivilWars https://www.npr.org/2026/01/20/nx-s1-5675241/wall-street-backed-landlords-targeted-trump-democrats

@DecaturNature The shopping mall angle led to some legal decisions ~1980s, possibly before. I don't know if there's been any subsequent online equivalent. I can't point at anything specific (though I may be able to turn something up on request). But that's where I'd start looking.

Pruneyard v. Robbins is the canonical case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._Robins (SCOTUS, 1980), finding for the plaintiffs that a free-speech right did exist.

This is probably the remit of the EFF / ACLU / EPIC and similar organisations.

For the record I've long had an issue with the notion that free speech rights are only a matter of direct government action. There are a few reasons for this:

• The right to exclude speech from private property ultimately relies on government sanction for that exclusion.
• Spatial monopolies, whether of commercial, educational, recreational, or even residential spaces, trade private control (and powers and limitations) for public ones, whether or not those private concerns are for-profit or not-for-profit. E.g., what are the free-speech rights on a private school or university, or a religious institution, or a park, or a residential complex?
• Common carrier provisions were enacted in transportation, and later communications systems, specifically because those systems, though privately held, exercised so much power over commerce, travel, and communication. The idea that free speech is absolutely limited to government interactions in that context strikes me as ludicrous.
