“They can live on the margins of capitalism, with barely anything, and prove it through collective decision making, using solidarity and mutual aid instead of competing and managing their problems on their own. Because here if a sewer gets clogged, they fix it, the City Hall won’t come here to help them. Here if a pipe gets broken they fix it, no one from the system comes here to help out. If they face the slightest problem here they are on their own, and realizing that you’re on your own and the fact that you are not dependent on the state nor the system does two things to you: first, you realize how useful you are, that you are worth something, that you can solve things; second, you realize the system is not essential. The system doesn’t help you out? You might be better off without it.“
