invited us to shake the limits of our conceptions of the food chain to
incite us to take up our entire understanding of the position of human
life on Earth.</p><p>There’s only one planet Earth and all its inhabitants, from bacteria
and mushrooms to large mammals, feed from our mutual interactions. As we
mentioned in Présence Solidaire,</p><blockquote><p>We see, in our ultraliberal, madly capitalist world, that everything
our production system touches is immediately destroyed, just like the
legendary King Midas who turned everything he touched into gold, until
he could no longer eat or drink. These fatal consequences are borne by
all ecosystems and by the most vulnerable people in our society.</p></blockquote><p>Although we’re very much dependent on capitalism, what interests us
here is to imagine integrating commensality (with all living beings) to <em>live together</em> and <em>externalize back the cost of domination to capitalism</em>.</p><p>Can we create other forms of solidarity and avoid commercial transactions within our communities?</p><p><em>Networks of</em> communities / cooperative(s) / commune(s):</p><ul><li>mutualism of costs</li><li>decrease in the standard of living <em>with the aim to emancipate ourselves from the capitalist system</em> (as much as possible)</li><li>it raises, among others, the question of handling fragility (from disease to end of life)</li></ul><h2 data-d-toc="toc-h2-resistance-networks">Resistance Networks</h2><p><em>People live individually: the culture of resistance is very different.

occurrences and synchronizations of alliances that materialize concrete
action about software syndicalism. It opens a shared mental space to
imagine its possible developments.</p><p>Previously we considered <a href="https://thx.zoethical.org/t/on-software-syndicalism/171"><em>software syndicalism</em> <span title="1 click">1</span></a>
as the relationship between developers and their users in proximity to
address power issues within the scope of a single software ; yet, is
there not also a proximity among developers working on distinct software
around common specifications that could as well present a form of
software syndicalism</p><p></p><ol><li><span>To make concrete the current notion in our peer network, e.g., from the <a href="https://pad.public.cat/s/offdem-o2-p2p-assembly" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">OFFDEM O₂ P2P Assembly</a>.
