The "Tragedy of the Commons" was invented by a white supremacist based on a false history, and it's toxic bullshit

There’s probably a difference between the Comanche that did manage a commons effectively for hundreds of years, and the Comanche that gained control over and absorbed other nations over the fifty years of over-hunting.

The later group was operating in a multi-nation economy, from a position of power, with a population and technology boom. At that point, it’s harder for me to see their resource management in isolation, since a lot of their over-hunting is then for more than supporting their community; it’s also for expansion and influence over other people.

(Also, they had personal private property, but a lot of power and decision-making was decentralized.)
