I wasn't aware of the pirate story but many modern people are fascinated by him. There even was a meme "how often do you think about the Roman Empire" and some people where like "twice a day"
Now read it again and replace "Hitler" with "Caesar" and "the West" with "the Present"
Council not in the sense that it's a central committee but a meeting open for every member. And that's how commons are commonly organized. Community organized by themselves with rules everyone agreed on.
Commons are common all over the world. It's not a concept of some armchair socialists. It was the armchair guy who came up with the tragedy of the commons and went on to privatize existing and working commons. Empirical scientists went on the study existing commons. The question isn't can they work, we know empirically they do.
The affor mentioned podcast episode is very informative. Andrewism also has a video about that topic.
I already wrote it in the edit of my first comment: you don't need a centralized control force once everyone monitors everyone else. When one is cheating (what ever that means), people will notice and bring it up on the council meeting or what ever. Punishment for small transgressions will be small so you doesn't feel like a snitch or something. Listen to the linked episode in my first comment, the Wrong Boys are fun to listen to!
The globe model can't explain the rapid dying of dinosaurs
There is research about when commons work and when they don't. SRSLY WRONG has a podcast episode about it
Edit: here is the episode. Basically we are more motivated to follow rules when we are included in the process of creating them. Then we also are willing to "police" others so no centralized force is necessary. Also it's quite a leap to think that the dominant system doesn't work because of a thought experiment. If it works in practice, it has to work in theory
Wait, that's restricted to crows in the area you live?
