From: starstuffharvestingstarlight Date: 2010-08-16 23:15:34 Title: parties, philosophies and cultural exchange

this weekend was particularly successful to us. not only did the workshops work out great, they were useful: we actually used the workshop built projector to project the lecture for discussion. so now we have a projector for the house (still needs some casing and a stronger lamp, but works). the fact that we built it ourselves makes us even more proud of the past weekend. we also learned how to make our own booze and started some home made wine projects with dumpstered food.

the hitchhiker crew + CS + helpx is both highly educated (and nerdy at times) and very eco-conscious and reciprocal, or at least, the ones that tend to stay. so in a week they've done more, given more, taught more and generally contributed more than the house residents (O, S, R, I) did in the past months. this is obviously causing the residents to close up and tribe up, as they always did, since they feel their privileges (free everything at our cost) threatened. so instead of going to the workshops, they all hid in S's room listening to the same old tapes and CDs, doing drugs and "looking cool". the issue, as usual, is both people not feeling included (even though they don't try to be a part of it), and with it becoming arrogant, angry or just generally prejudiced. so closing up in a room, making fun of people, doing what they said they don't do (hard drugs, lying, etc), has become a subculture of our little community.

in previous posts i got angry and frustrated. but if anything, what our residents are becoming, thanks to their lack of interest in any other thing other than mirrors, mohawks, punk music and themselves, is basic social center users. they use the water, the shelter, the food, but have no interest in any other thing. so instead of disciplining (which is something i was advocating in anger at some point), we are instead shifting to regular social work. we will treat the same respect and care we treat the homeless people we help. but if they want to have a say, they will have to work for it.

let's conjure up a simple example of this. we designed a cane flow around the building, for shelter and defining the space. it took us (mostly D) time and effort to do it. it was worked on, designed, an put in practice. some residents then, after we finished, said they didn't like it. so, usually, had we followed the principle "let's include everyone in the decision process so that we make the best decision" there would be no cane flow done at all.

what we're doing now is if it's done and you don't want it, you undo it yourself or start alternatives. in a way, we are using laziness against itself. we're using, instead of global democracy values (like advocated by the previous group), the local power model first described by myself in the beginning of this community. in a funny way, this is a right wing turn in an anarchist house that promotes anarchism. can we stop using anarchism so much, too, since everyone misuses it and the word is an oxymoron itself?

what i see this mainly as is a shift from allowing reactive intelligence to act on synthetic intelligence, and slowly empower synthetic intelligence and downplaying reactive intelligence. this is what we do with the model i provided. the generators of information (negentropy, exuberance, creative types, whatever) become the ruling class, and the consumers (reactive intelligence) are pushed to little to no power. this is, basically, a worker revolt. we are not ending our productivity and surplus generation. we are, instead, using it as our own power to set course of our community, instead of giving power to people that have no interest in community building at all, except for their own interests.

a big irony, as the anarchists are the bourgeois of the squat, and the more conservative, working people end up being the oppressed working class.

basically, we're testing out the new model, and dealing with those who don't agree with motherly love instead of discipline. a fairer, more humane way of keeping the community in motion. therefore, we are no longer an anarcho-punk-crust squat or anarcho-syndicalist squat, but an exuberantist cult with everything it implies.
