A Point on Gentrification

 Gentrification plays out in so many different ways.

It doesn't matter if you are an anarchist, communist, or well intentioned.

Sometimes by moving to a city and working class neighborhood with history of white flight, you can perpetuate Gentrification and settler-colonialism in a way.

Your collective and whatever project you think benefits the community,  at the end of the day makes that neighborhood more desirable to developers and gentrifiers.

Individual action is not enough to stop it, as well as performative clout chasing movements.

Creative direct action will always be a good start.

For those who open up or start a "project" in a community that is an obvious target of Gentrification, ask yourself, who is this for, and if the people who historically lived there don't make up the people in the collective or who come to the space, then you're probably a gentrifier.

Land Back!

 The goal is to return all lands to indigenous people. 

As a guest I want to assist in destroying colonialism, and to change our relationships to earth and all living things.

Cities as they exist today represent imperialist-capitalism to its fullest, and eventually there would be no divide between rural and city, because there would be no need.

A strategy of creating bases to operate from and live that is land based is what I want to spend more time developing with comrades (you can call it "building community" but to fight from), as well as connecting to the movement all over that includes the urban. 

Eventually all lands should be returned to original caretakers of those places. In the mean time fight alongside those communities fighting to free themselves and to decolonize. I hate paying rent on stolen land to settlers though.
