From: starstuffharvestingstarlight Date: 2010-08-11 21:36:36 Title: windmills, swimming pools, cane constructions, gardens and anarcho-syndicalism

our crew has been busy. currently some of our guests have a couple of interesting DIY projects: a windmill (made from pvc pipes and recycled stuff), a swimming pool (out in the back, not even sure how it's going to work), gardens (though carrying soil is still too much), and a cane flow up and around the building.

overall, i think our method for choosing people has increased the percentage of workers (vs. freeloaders) in the house, leading to a more healthy and productive environment. this is making our previous freeloader load more obvious (our lazy residents).

anarcho-syndicalism (a-s) isn't working anymore. it assumes working class ethics is understood and practiced every day by everyone. but not everyone shares that view, instead choosing individualist libertarian anarchism. therefore, a-s ends up allowing for a constant, growing abuse of the workers' output. are freeloaders the bourgeois oppressor class of the squat?

we have more workers now, so that means that freeloaders need to do less work. this has gotten to the point where the residents (S and R mainly) have grown so lazy they don't buy or dumpster for food anymore, drink and eat the surplus the house generates, and spend all their money (including stealing house money from the box) on booze and crack. just the other day i was woken up at 2am with S asking me to go drive him to "get beer" downtown. it wasn't beer, 'cause he can get beer down the street all night. it was crack. it's always crack. drugs, especially cocaine, have a way of distorting people's reality to a point where they always live in mememe land. plus, if they don't have to fight for survival anymore and can sell drugs to an endless stream of guests, it is the perfect setting for indulgence.

i've always been sensitive to this issue and critical on what the street punk libertarians would bring to the house progress. what we see here is that even though we invested time, effort, money in creating a regenerating, empowering environment from which people could learn, grow and break free of their habit patterns, instead it is proving to be the exact opposite. since the house is becoming sustainable and self sufficient (thanks to our hard work), it only encouraged the hedonistic behavior of our residents.

in this sense, the 6 month trial of a-s failed as an organizational system. for it to work, it requires a shared worker mindset from all the participants, and therefore it is unfit for a diverse house such as our own.

as an alternative, my own model has been proposed, and will be implemented soon. it is based on the exuberantist ideology, and tends to empower workers and remove power from freeloaders. i have some (short) info on what it is on the main network website ().

as a transition, we have begun to track all the work and money put in by each of the guests and residents. at the end of each month, a balance is to be done and we'll confront all the residents with their activity (or lack thereof). next, we will give everyone a period of time to change their behavior, and if nothing happens, we will go back to our founder authority and kick people out. it will only happen if people fail to understand community living.

as for the exuberantist ideology, it is sufficiently similar to anarchism to be mistaken for it. but as my big A for anarchy symbolized, the random specks can be seen as random, but may actually hide meaningful data in them. in my design, the random specks were a , a mathematical plot of prime numbers. i include it below. when done right, order and reason might be as rough and natural as nature itself. like the endless richness of a fractal, a rational approach does not mean a heartless approach.
