We need to start building post-capitalist infrastructure now

“What we're suggesting is, in order for the human enterprise to survive—we're not even talking flourishing—survive, we need to start building that post-capitalist infrastructure now. And what I don't want to do is point to examples of Rojava or Zapatistas, as if they are some blueprint model, because that's where the Western mind will go. They're contextually dependent, they're contextually relevant. [What] they share [are] principles. And they share a philosophy: that is inherently informed by the current crises of capital and neoliberalism.”
