People hear sustainable communities, healing communities, better communities and they often assume it means ‘communities where we all treat each other well all the time’. That doesn’t fit my idea of the messiness of human reality.
I’m not interested in creating anarchist communities where we all meditate daily and are constantly nice to each other. I am interested in anarchist communites where we get angry and hurt and we lash out but we are commited to cleaning up the mess together.
