An Original Parable about Voluntaryism
The river is not an unlimited resource. Therefore it can not be a common. It will get clogged up with boats and nobody gets any value out of that. Nothing that is limited can be a common. Who profits most from it should be who uses it, since their profits flow into more business, more spending, or, even, just holding money off the market and making others' money more valuable.
There is no good outcome from any common property, except when the multiple owners are a very very small group, like family sized. And ultimately the kids grow up and want their own private piece of their own anyway.
