Here's what I wrote in your "New Fusionism" thread:
1. The left-libertarian, unlike the Marxist, believes it to be the responsibility of the individual to take ownership for that which he himself creates. Likewise, it is the domain of the individual to produce that which he sells. Therefore, the left-libertarian ought to co-opt the growing desktop manufacturing movement and endorse and promote it (through such projects as Fab@home and RepRap), in order to liberate the individual man from consignment to the current, rotting industrial-capitalist order. This movement is the seed that will one day germinate into the New Post-Industrial Economy, as opposed to the ideological swill we have been force-fed every day for the last thirty years. Only a genuinely de-centralized economy can pull us through this crisis. And by relocating the means of production in the individual home, the stress inflicted upon the environment by industrial production will be massively reduced, conserving the existing oil supplies for the transition.
Again, I don't see how any of this isn't possible in current society. Every man is fully entitled to pursue any entrepreneurial desires he may have. If he can develop a new product; or a more efficient/safer/better product, he can take down the largest industrialist...or at least be compensated for his innovation.
Is "desktop manufacturing" technologically advanced enough for an individual to create marketable goods? Even if it is, I'd bet a lot of developers would sell their products to industrial concerns that have the mass-production and distribution channels already in place.
