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.

As we produce journalism that combats authoritarianism, censorship, injustice, and misinformation, your support is urgently needed. Please make a year-end gift to Truthout today.

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.
