I've been thinking about revenue models, and how pay-for-access fails in a lot of ways (although it succeeds in some important ones) -- and I just now had this sort of realization that revenue from donations is kind of like a positive form of "stochastic" (as in "stochastic terrorism" -- which I sometimes call "inductive" -- in that people do it spontaneously, and that an entity which desires such activity can encourage it without commanding it or even asking for it directly.

Protests would be another kind of positive stochastic/inductive activity (which, of course, often gets inaccurately labeled as negative and specifically "terrorism").

So maybe "stochastic revenue" or "inductive revenue" would be good terms to use when we're talking about anticapitalist / anarchist business models.

Is contributing to beneficial organizations a kind of protest? Boycotting, the opposite, certainly is...
