"as long as there is no controller of the commons that prevents these abuses they probably would happen"

That is exactly the opposite of what the article argues.

No - quote from article "Hardin simply ignored what actually happens in a real commons: self-regulation by the communities involved." it argues that Hardin, to make his point, ignored that of course there was a controller of the commons - the communities involved, as communities will, kept control and did not allow any single member of the community to abuse them.

Yeah, but the enforcement of the right either leads to governing my implicit enforcement based on trust, and which eventually devolves into enforcement using punitive measures.
