Capitalism didn't just commodify our labor it commodified our relationships, everything has become transactional. It taught us that survival is a solo sport (hello culture of hyper-individualism), that hoarding is safety, that the neighbor is a competitor rather than a community member. This has not, of course, always been the case. Before extraction became our social default, collectivity and community were the status quo. Communities fed each other, built together, held land and resources in common without viewing it as charity but as it's inherent structure.
This month, we're tracing that structure back. August's theme is Labor, Economic Justice & Collective Ownership and we look at one big question: what does liberation look like when workers, not owners, hold control?
