Saving liberal self-ownership requires planning a new revolution

Evidence

And herein lies the greatest contradiction: to rescue that foundational liberal idea – of liberty as self-ownership – will therefore require a comprehensive reconfiguration of property rights over the increasingly cloud-based instruments of production, distribution, collaboration and communication. To resuscitate the liberal individual, we need to do something that liberals detest: plan a new revolution. — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, 663
