If the Digital Republic is going to survive the opposition of large telecommunications and content industries, many of which oppose open platforms, collaborative production and less stringent copyright laws, then the "commoners" will need to pursue an agenda that enables them to 1) study and fortify the commons as a means of value-creation; 2) secure government support for the commons just as it already supports the market; 3) explore open business models that work in tandem with the commons; 4) consolidate the diverse tribes of the Digital Republic into a more coordinated political movement; and 5) change the neoliberal discourse by introducing a new language of the commons.
