Authoritarianism, in Scott’s view, dies this way: not through “revolutionary vanguards or rioting mobs” but through “the silent, dogged resistance, withdrawal, and truculence of millions of ordinary people.” Just as “millions of anthozoan polyps create, willy-nilly, a coral reef,” he writes, “so do thousands upon thousands of acts of insubordination and evasion create an economic or political barrier reef of their own.”

A flood may be, “for humans,” the “most damaging of ‘natural’ disasters worldwide,” but, from “a long-run hydrological perspective, it is just the river breathing deeply, as it must.” A seasonal inundation, known as a “flood pulse,” delivers crucial nutrients to organisms that depend on rivers. “Without the annual occupation of the floodplain, the channel—that line on the map—is comparatively dead biotically,”

An introduction into anarchism in the version of James C. Scott (https://aeon.co/essays/what-san-francisco-carpooling-tells-us-about-anarchism):
“Scott’s anarchism is [...] a way of seeing the world, a ‘sensibility’ as he calls it, one that can be honed the way a bird watcher can train herself to hear the calls of a particular species, or a cook can learn to detect the early scent of a good char. It is not anti-statist but anti-oppression, pro-human and proactive.”
“Throughout history, communities have demonstrated a tremendous ability to think for themselves and, more than that, to resist, in an entirely pragmatic fashion, forces of domination and devise alternatives that help restore their agency. Scott’s anarchism is in this sense manifestly anti-authoritarian.“
In the end, Scott does not really propagate anarchism; he shows that people are already anarchic and resist and modify the big plans of powerful people. The narrative of power and suppression is more complex than we usually think.

diu #JamesCScott que els monocultius en camps mecanitzats són com persones amb un sistema immunitari que no funciona, cal aïllar-nos en un ambient estèril, amb un fotimer de pesticides, per què cap patògen oportunista els ataqui, no existeix la variabilitat genètica que els protegeix de les malaties i infeccions. I mentre augmenta la prevalença del #cancer

Visto desde el centro del Estado, cuanto más puro es el aire que respiras, menos civilizado estás.

Empezando lectura. Pura dinamita. Ideas como la de "erosión del territorio", "Producto Accesible al Estado", "cercamiento de súbditos", "legibilidad de las cosechas"...pueden ser estrategias poderosas para escapar de la tiranía. La teoría clásica del Estado puesta del revés ( por fin alguien la pone de pie ). Si has leído #ElAmanecerDeTodo de #DavidGraeber y te has quedado con ganas de más, este es tu libro.
