Abstract
Today the planet is faced with the lack of management of vital commons such as air, climate, water. It is important to build collective management methods for these commons, involving as many stakeholders as possible. For this, we must get out of capitalocentrism, parallel to the phallocentrism denounced by feminists, for which the common would inevitably be generated by the contradictions of capitalism. It is better to analyze the way in which the common is gradually built by pooling a resource regardless of the ownership regime. Three examples are given: the quality of the air in an Australian town adjoining a coal mine, where inhabitants and industrialists have gradually recognized the need to prevent pollution; the threat to the ozone layer which has been averted both by the Montreal Protocol of 1985 and by a multitude of actions on the Australian continent that common the atmosphere in response to the challenge of anthropocene.
