  1. 🚨𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 ($𝟲𝟮𝟱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹)🚨

    Hi, I’m disabled and in need of ongoing support. I didn’t meet March’s goal, so that gap is now carrying into April.

    I had to prioritise meds last month and couldn’t pay utilities, so I need an additional $250 to stabilise this month.

    The bare minimum I need to get through a full month is:
    • Groceries: ~$250
    • Utilities + water: $90
    • Internet + phone data: $35
    That’s $𝟯𝟳𝟱/month just to cover the bare minimum.

    $100/month is currently pledged across platforms, still building toward stability.

    If you can help:
    • Monthly support (preferred): scan QR
    • One-off support package: scan QR (pic 2)
    • One-off support through Ko-fi:
    ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal

    This work sustains a global mutual-aid network and keeps me connected to comrades organising across borders.

    Whether it’s a one-off tip or a monthly pledge, your support helps keep this work going.

  2. Hype for the Future 20A: Vershire, Vermont

    Vershire, Vermont, located in the east-central part of the State of Vermont, is home to the VerShare collective project and hostel, though restaurants are very scarce in the surrounding region and the terrain may also be hostile for agricultural or even the safer horticultural practices. VerShare is also the nickname of the Stagecoach Stop Hostel, which hosts—and serves—the communal preferences of the Town of Vershire in Orange County. On a side note, Vershire is actually a portmanteau of […]

  9. 7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

    Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

  14. New essay on Community-Self-Management and Commoning within 6 Libertarian Socialist Influenced Revolutions is now on our substack. Featuring: Morelos Commune, Makhnovia, Shinmin, Spanish Revolution, Zapatistas/ACGAZ, and Rojava/DAANES!!! usufructcollective.substack.co

  15. "The following adaptation of Ostrom’s rules for managing the commons is informed by libertarian socialism/communism/communalism, organizations and revolutions influenced by libertarian socialism that utilize community assemblies related to common decisions and resources, various commons Ostrom looks at, as well as an expanded history of commoning in multiple modes of subsistence:

    1. Participants know they are part of a group and what the group is about (Wilson, 2016).
    2. Agreements for sharing and at times rotating labor/work and implementation of decisions as well as for sharing the fruits thereof (Kropotkin, 1906, Sixth Commission of the EZLN, 2016, Ostrom, 2021, Usufruct Collective, 2022). People can co-create a cornucopia where there is more than enough for all or otherwise agree to specific ways of distributing less abundant fruits of re/production according to needs.
    3. Direct collective decision making by participants through deliberation. For there to be self-management of each and all, there must also be mutual non-domination. By extension, community assemblies related to the commons should utilize direct, participatory, and non-hierarchical forms of democracy (Bookchin, 2005b).
    4. Organizational transparency that allows participants to mutually-monitor the commons (Atkins, Wilson, Hayes, 2019). This can happen through the process of co-managing and interacting with the commons, collective action, living in community with others, relevant accounting/calculation as needed, and availability of relevant information to participants.
    5. Graduated defense against domination and exploitation such as: informal social disapproval, self-defense and defense of others as needed, and recourse to expelling someone from a particular collective (through deliberation, assembly, and due process) in response to the most extreme violations of the commons and freedoms of persons (Boehm, 2001, Ostrom, 2021, Usufruct Collective, 2023).
    6. Good-enough conflict resolution such as: people talking directly to each other, mediation to find out how to move forward, dispute resolution to resolve disputes, restorative justice and transformative justice processes for people to repair harm and transform causes thereof, and organization-wide assembly when the conflict is in regards to organizational form and content. (Kaba, 2019, Usufruct Collective, 2023).
    7. Communities and participants need sufficient autonomy to organize.
    8. The use of co-federation and embedded councils. Community assemblies can co-manage inter-communal commons in a way where policy-making power is held by participants and assemblies directly (Bookchin, 1992, Ocalan, 2014). This enables self-management and mutual aid within and between communities as well as inter-communal management of the commons. Community assemblies can utilize mandated and recallable councils and rotating delegates to implement decisions within the bounds of policies made by community assemblies directly (Bookchin, 1992, 2007, 2018).

  16. Older white guy rants to me and a fem colleague about how the Ford government lets private long-term care coorprations/condo boards and landlords grift the living hell out of regular people, but prefaces his rant with, "and beleive me, I'm no socialist." I couldn't get a word in edge-wise, but I'd love to a have asked, "why not? And what do you want then?" I'm so glad that generally folks seem much more willing to use socialism and identify as a socialist (at least in the Anglo-Americas I experience) than they were even just 10 years ago, but encounters like these are bizzare. If you have a problem with private ownership of land, you really ought to have a problem with a socio-economic system that privileges just such an arrangement and trends, pretty well inevitability, towards (neo)liberalism and then the slide to fascism. Socialism (/anarchism/communism/communalism, etc.) is the alternative, friend.
